The Apple TV app, released in 2019, allows you to enjoy Apple TV+, a video-on-demand service that broadcasts original movies and TV series, as well as programs from video streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video, all in one app.

Until now, the Apple TV app has been distributed for Apple operating systems such as iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS, as well as Android TV , but it has not been developed for Android smartphones or tablets.



Therefore, Android smartphone users have had to use the web version of Apple TV to watch Apple TV+ programs or

watch Major League Soccer games . However, unlike the app version optimized for smartphones, the web version lacks features such as downloading programs.

However, Apple is looking for a senior engineer to help develop the Apple TV app for Android starting in May 2024. In the job posting, Apple said, 'We're looking for someone to lead the development of fun new features and help build the apps millions of people use to watch and discover TV and sports.'



Bloomberg, a foreign media outlet, speculated that 'Apple's move is evidence of Apple's efforts to expand its market share in video streaming services, and suggests that it is trying to attract users of Android devices, of which there are said to be 3 billion worldwide, to its Apple TV app.'

Apple has not commented on the release date of the Apple TV app for Android.
