How to Enable WebVR in Safari for iOS

Enabling WebVR in Safari is accomplished by allowing "Motion and Orientation" access on your iOS device. The instructions are dependent on what version of iOS you have. If you don't know what iOS version you have, see How to find your iOS version on your iPhone.

iOS 13, iOS14 and above

Apple has added a Permissions API so app developers may prompt the user to grant Motion and Orientation access right from their web app. Safari will now prompt users explicitly for Motion and Orientation access if the developer has updated their web app to use the new Permissions API.

iOS 12

The user must manually turn on Motion and Orientation access in their settings.

Go to: Settings > General > Safari > Privacy & Security > Toggle Motion & Orientation Access

iOS 11 and under

Motion and Orientation access is allowed by default.
