iOS 18.4 and tvOS 18.4 are currently available in beta, and they come with some small enhancements to the Apple TV app worth noting. Here are three nice changes coming soon to your iPhone, Apple TV 4K, and more.UI changes make TV app elements more prominent in iOS 18.4Apples TV app is very likely getting more use right now than it ever has before. Thats all thanks to Severance, which has quickly become the most viewed Apple TV+ series ever during its second season run.Although iOS 18.4 and tvOS 18.4 arent expected to launch publicly until after Severances season ends, Apple has a few small but welcome enhancements coming in the updates.The revised TV app will include three additions:Large plus button on featured titlesEpisode release schedule infoUpdated fonts and iconsThese are ultimately just UI enhancements, but in my time with the beta theyve proven to make for a better experience overall.Details on the TV app enhancementsTake the new plus button on featured titles. At the top of the TV app, theres a rotating carousel of different features TV shows and movies to check out.Currently in iOS 18.3, youll find a small plus button in the top-right corner to add a title to your Watchlist. But in iOS 18.4, that button gets way bigger and moved somewhere thats hard to miss. Youll now find it right next to the Play button.Similarly, for shows that are still airing new episodes, iOS 18.4 makes the release schedule far more prominent than before.Previously, the TV app showed some description text under the shows title that sometimes included info on when to expect new episodes.Now, iOS 18.4 sets that info apart by placing it above the title in its own dedicated banner. So for example with Apples medical drama, Berlin ER, youll see New Episodes Wednesdays above the title.Finally, the TV app has also updated its fonts and iconography throughout the app. There are new icons for the Movies Spotlight and Sports sections, for example. And fonts throughout have been updated to provide a fresh, yet familiar look.None of these changes are especially revolutionary, but theyre the kind of iterative improvements that should lead to a better app experience overall.Apple TV+ isavailable for $9.99 per monthand features hit TV shows and movies likeTed Lasso,Severance,The Morning Show,Silo, andShrinking.Best iPhone accessoriesAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.
