Apple’s TV app has recently experienced a major update, improving the user experience for those exploring titles on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and various other devices. A key alteration is the enhancement of autoplaying video previews, which now appear in additional sections of the app.
### You’ll Now Encounter More Autoplaying Previews When Browsing Apple’s TV App
In the competitive arena of streaming services, autoplaying video previews have emerged as a popular feature, aiding users in determining what to watch next. Previously, in the Apple TV app, this functionality was confined to the top of the screen, specifically within the ‘featured title’ carousel, which has supported autoplaying previews for numerous years.
Recently, Apple has expanded the reach of autoplaying video to more areas within the TV app interface. Users can now discover autoplaying previews in both the Home tab and the Apple TV tab as they navigate through the content.
For example, the Home tab has introduced a fresh row titled ‘Perfectly Imperfect,’ which launched alongside the debut of *Imperfect Women*. This row highlights titles with larger visuals, and when users hover over a title, a video preview will automatically begin to play.
In the same vein, the Apple TV tab presents a ‘New Seasons This Spring’ row, where users can experience autoplaying previews for titles like *Your Friends & Neighbors season 2*. By hovering over any title in this section, users will activate the autoplaying preview, enhancing the browsing experience.
This expansion of autoplaying video previews reflects trends observed across various social platforms, where such features have become commonplace. Apple’s method of implementing this feature is crafted to be user-centric; the video only autoplays if the user pauses scrolling for a moment, reducing interruptions.
The rollout of autoplaying previews in additional sections of the Apple TV app intends to engage users more effectively and simplify the decision-making process when choosing content to view.
Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month, with options for discounts through the Apple One bundle.
