tvOS 27.2 adds three new features to your Apple TV 4K
tvOS 27.2 is coming next week, bringing several new features to Apple TV 4K users—including some screen saver upgrades. Here’s what’s new.
tvOS offers a variety of great screen savers across multiple categories, including Aerials, Memories & Slideshows, Portraits, and Snoopy.
But historically, you’ve had to choose just one of these categories for your Apple TV screen savers, thus missing out on all the others.
In tvOS 27.2, Apple has a new ‘Shuffle’ option which will cycle through all available screen savers—regardless of category—throughout the day.
I’ve always favored Apple’s beautiful selection of Aerials. But I love that now I can continue enjoying Aerials while also benefiting from the other screen saver categories too.
For select movies and shows that support it, the Apple TV app now lets viewers toggle sign language options inside the player controls. Per Sigmund Judge:
Update: tvOS 27.2 Beta 3 confirms upcoming Sign Language options for both American (ASL) and British (BSL) – allowing access to sign language options in player controls on selected movies and shows.
ASL (American Sign Language) and BSL (British Sign Language) are available, expanding accessibility for content in the Apple TV app.
If you want to curate Photos screen savers, tvOS 27.2 lets you do that in a new and convenient way.
When setting up screen savers in the Memories & Slideshows or Portraits categories, you’re now able to manually select the content that’s included from your iPhone or iPad.
