The Apple TV app update for Android introduces Google Cast support, enhancing user experience on mobile devices. Released as Version 2.2, this update addresses a longstanding gap in support since the app's launch.
New Casting Features
Google Cast is now available on the Apple TV app for Android, marked by an icon on the upper right of the screen. When selected, it opens a 'Cast To' sheet themed to match the app's interface. Users can also find the Cast button in the fullscreen player next to the mute icon.
- User interaction: Icon located next to profile avatar and in fullscreen player.
- Playback controls: Miniplayer provides rewind, play/pause, and timeline details.
- Enhanced player: Tapping the miniplayer offers a fullscreen view with additional controls and options.
User Interface Tweaks
The update includes a minor adjustment to the app's homescreen icon, making it slightly smaller within the circle for a cleaner look. These changes follow Apple's vision for streamlined design across platforms.
Version 2.2 of Apple TV for Android is available now, allowing users to enjoy expanded casting capabilities and refined app aesthetics.
