Apple TV is now available on Android

Apple TV+ and Apple TV are among those services you associate with Apple devices alone, but that changes today.

Apple just announced that the Apple TV app, as well as the Apple TV+ streaming subscription and MLS Season Pass content, are now available natively on Android.

To try it out, download and install the Apple TV app on Google Play on your device and sign up to start watching. If you don't have an Apple TV subscription, you don't have to commit right away, as Apple offers a 7-day free trial on launch. You can sign up right there from within the Apple TV app on Android.

Apple has taken great care to follow Google's Material Design principles in designing the app, so it should look good on all Android devices. If you've ever dreamed of natively watching Apple TV+ content on a Google Pixel Fold, now you can.

And while there are no hardware requirements, you do need a device that supports Android 10 or above.

If you're one of those users who have both Apple and Android devices in your household, worry not: All of the content will sync across different devices, such as Apple TV and a Pixel phone.

The app works over a WiFi or cellular connection, and enables users to download content and watch it offline.

As for what type of content you can expect, some examples include Apple Original films such as Wolfs, The Instigators, The Family Plan, Killers of the Flower Moon, and CODA, and TV shows like Severance, Slow Horses, The Morning Show, Presumed Innocent, Shrinking, Hijack, Loot, Palm Royale, Masters of the Air, and Ted Lasso.

It's worth noting that Apple TV has been available for Android TV devices for some time now, but this is the first time it's made available for Android phones.

The Apple TV app for Android is now available globally as a free download.
