Apple has announced the TVOS 26 version to advance the experience of Apple TV users. This new software update not only offers a visual innovation; It also brings various improvements in terms of ease of use and personal access. The new Liquid Glass design added to the system gives the Apple TV interface vitality and depth. This structure, which interacts in real time, significantly increases the visual quality of the screen.
The Liquid Glass material not only offers a new look to the Apple TV screen; It also provides a background that does not distract the user while watching content. When watching movies or series, operations such as forward/rewind, sound level setting or sleep timer can now be done without dividing the screen. While maintaining visual simplicity, the user experience becomes more intuitive. With this design, Apple aims to reduce distracting elements and focus on content.
When the user profiles are opened with TVOS 26, suggestions come directly to the screen
With the TVOS 26, Apple TV application was overhauled from start to finish. Now the posters have been made larger, detailed and cinematic. In this way, users can explore new content more easily. This emphasis on visuality also makes the navigation process more enjoyable.
The innovations for user profiles are also remarkable. When Apple TV wakes up, it can now automatically show the latest profile. Thus, the recommended content, monitoring lists or Apple Music playlists become accessible within a few seconds. This feature provides great convenience in home environments with multiple users.
Another practical innovation was the ability to associate application entries with the Apple account. Thanks to its new API, developers can connect the login process to the Apple account. This saves time to the user, especially in new device installations. No more need to deal with passwords; Easy and safe access is provided with account information.
Apple Music Sing has gained more capabilities with TVOS 26. Users can now sing on Apple TV using their iPhones like a microphone. The songs are synchronized with words in real time and the sounds echo from the speaker. The dynamic visuals that appear on the screen make Karaoke experience even more fun.
This feature offers a very fun experience not only for individual use, but also in friendly environments. Anyone can choose the next song with their own iPhone or send emoji reactions on the screen. The lyrics come with translation and pronunciation support, which makes it easier to accompany the pieces of foreign languages. With TVOS 26, Apple Music Sing has become more inclusive.
Not only music, but also video communication becomes more personal on Apple TV. FaceTime searches are now started with person posters on the screen with the name and special photo of the person. This feature allows the experience in iOS to the Apple TV. However, in calls, live subtitle feature now offers support in languages such as French, German, Korean and Japanese.
Apple TV can also display the appearing calls and facetime notifications in the active profile. Users can respond directly to these calls via HomePod or through the iPhone. This makes the transition between the devices more fluent. TVOS 26 brings the communication network at home to a more holistic structure.
A few new visual options on the screen protectors stand out. The air images taken from the Goa and Kerala regions of India were added to Apple TV. Users can now select and fix screen protectors manually in certain themes (such as city, nature, underwater). This makes the TV aesthetic even in waiting mode.
TVOS 26 also allows AirPlay -supported speakers to set up as default sound output. Thus, it is easier to create a home cinema order that works with sound systems. Apple TV is now not only visual, but also a more impressive experience. The update will be offered to users during the year.
