Apple today released tvOS 15, the latest version of the tvOS operating system designed for Apple TV 4K and Apple TV‌ HD.

Apple TV feature tvOS 15
The tvOS 15 update can be downloaded over the air through the Settings app on ‌‌‌Apple TV‌‌‌ by going to System -> Software Update. Apple TV owners who have automatic software updates turned on will automatically upgrade to ‌tvOS 15.

Apple’s tvOS updates are never as important as its iOS updates, but tvOS 15 introduces a few notable new features.

A new “Shared with you” section in tvOS will bring together any content that people have recommended to you through the Messages app so that you can view it at your convenience.

When using Apple TV‌ with your AirPods Pro or AirPods Max, spatial audio is now supported for a cinema-like surround sound experience. There is also a new feature to automatically connect your AirPods through ‌AirPods‌ smart routing.

Using Hey Siri commands, you can play Apple TV + shows in tvOS 15, and two HomePod mini speakers can now pair with a 4K Apple TV‌ for surround sound. Those with HomeKit cameras can view multiple cameras at the same time on Apple TV‌.

When the SharePlay FaceTime feature launches later this year, the option that allows multiple people to watch TV shows or movies together will integrate with tvOS. There’s even a new “For Everyone” recommendation engine that will suggest content that everyone can enjoy.

To learn more about tvOS 15 and Apple TV‌, we have a dedicated summary that describes the new features. Apple has also released update 8.4.6 for older ‌Apple TV‌ devices.
