Title: tvOS 26 Introduces Automatic Sign-In Feature for Apple TV Apps Post by: HCK on June 16, 2025, 04:05:03 pm tvOS 26 Introduces Automatic Sign-In Feature for Apple TV Apps
Apple this week introduced (https://developer.apple.com/tvos/whats-new/) a new Automatic Sign-In API (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/automaticsigninapi), which will make it easier to sign in to apps across multiple Apple devices. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2021/02/apple-tv-app-1.jpg) Starting with Apple's latest software releases, such as iOS 26 and tvOS 26, you will be able to sign in to a supported app on one Apple device and automatically be signed in to the app on other Apple devices. For example, if you sign in to the Disney+ app on your iPhone, you would automatically be signed in to the Disney+ app on your Apple TV. However, it will take time for developers to begin implementing this functionality. Apple says this feature will eliminate the need to re-enter usernames and passwords across its software platforms, by linking app logins to a user's Apple Account. tvOS 26 is currently available in beta.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: Apple TV (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-tv/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: Apple TV (Don't Buy) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Apple_TV)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: Apple TV and Home Theater (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/apple-tv-and-home-theater.100)</div> This article, "tvOS 26 Introduces Automatic Sign-In Feature for Apple TV Apps (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/06/13/tvos-26-automatic-sign-in/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/tvos-26-introduces-automatic-sign-in-feature-for-apple-tv-apps.2458958/) in our forums Source: tvOS 26 Introduces Automatic Sign-In Feature for Apple TV Apps (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/06/13/tvos-26-automatic-sign-in/) |
