Apple TV's tvOS has a few features that are easy to miss but make everyday streaming noticeably smoother.
Apple TV runs tvOS, a purpose-built operating system that behaves a little differently from Android-based streaming devices. A handful of its features are worth knowing about even if you've used one for a while.
Apple TV installs system updates automatically by default, but it's worth checking manually in Settings occasionally, especially if an app is behaving oddly — see our general guide on updating a Smart TV's software for why this matters.
Apple TV lets you rearrange and group apps into folders, which helps once you have more than a handful installed — our guide on organizing apps on a streaming device's home screen covers the general approach.
Check our Devices page to confirm current platform support before relying on Apple TV as your primary streaming device.
