Apple has released tvOS 18 for Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K with some handy new features. Here’s how you can get it.
Announced earlier in 2024, tvOS 18 for the Apple TV is now available. It contains some fun and handy features that all Apple TV owners should check out — especially if you’re an Apple TV+ or Apple Fitness+ subscriber.
The new tvOS 18 is compatible with every Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD model, but some features are limited to the Apple TV 4K.
The latest update to Apple’s TV-oriented software brings a number of enhancements, starting with InSight, a feature that lets you see detailed information on actors, characters, and music from every live-action Apple TV+ movie and show onscreen in real time. Amazon Prime Video users will be familiar with the idea — it’s a lot like Amazon’s X-ray feature.
The software also has a new version of the Enhance Dialogue feature powered by machine learning and computational audio, which Apple says will deliver greater vocal clarity. Subtitles are also more intelligent and responsive. They automatically appear in the moment where they’d be most useful, including when you press mute or skip back while watching, or when the language in a show or movie doesn’t match your Apple TV’s language setting.
