User Interface Upgrades Make Navigation Easier

The Apple TV app has gained significant traction recently, particularly due to the astounding success of the series Severance, which has quickly become the most-watched show on Apple TV+ during its current season. With new updates headed our way, the app is set to get three clever modifications that users will appreciate.

1. Bigger and Better Plus Button for Featured Titles

One of the standout changes is the revamped plus button, now more prominent than ever. Previously tucked away in the corner, the plus button—used to add titles to your Watchlist—has been enlarged and relocated right beside the Play button, making it hard to miss.

2. Episode Release Schedule Made Clearer

For ongoing series, the episode release schedule will now be much easier to find. Previously, information about when new episodes would air sometimes got lost in the description text. With the upcoming update, this important information will be featured in a dedicated banner above the show title. For example, fans of the medical drama Berlin ER will see "New Episodes Wednesdays" right at the top, ensuring viewers never miss a new installment.

3. Fresh Fonts and Icons for a Sleeker Look

The aesthetics of the TV app will also see a refreshing update, with new fonts and icons throughout. Expect to see updated icons in the Movies Spotlight and Sports sections, along with a modernized font selection that enhances user experience while keeping the familiar layout intact.

A Step Toward a Better Viewing Experience

While these changes may not be groundbreaking, they are valuable incremental improvements that should lead to a smoother and more enjoyable experience for users. As the competition in the streaming space intensifies, it's clear Apple is committed to refining its offerings.

Apple TV+ is making waves with its subscription service priced at $9.99 per month, featuring popular shows such as Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Silo. With these enhancements to the Apple TV app, it’s an exciting time for fans and new viewers alike!

Stay tuned for the public release of iOS 18.4 and tvOS 18.4, as these updates aim to keep Apple at the forefront of the streaming war!
