tvOS 18 installation guide: What features have arrived? How to install?
Apple made iOS 18 and macOS 15 Sequoia available for all supported devices as of 20.00 yesterday. While Apple integrates artificial intelligence into some of its devices, it brings new features to others. tvOS 18 brings many features to Apple TV. Apple TV+ gets the InSight feature with iOS 18. With this feature, you will be able to see the name of the music playing at that moment or the name of the actor playing the role while watching a content in Apple TV+. The music identification system in this service will work directly with Apple Music.
In addition, an advanced dialog feature is now available. Compatible with HomePod, HomePod mini, AirPods and third-party speakers, this feature can make hard-to-hear dialogs more understandable thanks to artificial intelligence. This will make it easier to understand characters in very noisy scenes in movies. In addition, tvOS 18 compatible Apple TVs will now be able to support 21:9 aspect ratio. In this way, Apple TVs can be connected to a projector to watch TV series or movies without image problems. However, the 21:9 display support feature will be available later in the year. Compatible with the Home app, robot vacuums can be added to automations and scenes you can create from the shortcuts app. Additional features can be found here:
- Guests will be able to share control of the music playing through HomePod and HomePod mini using SharePlay and Apple Music.
- Spatial Audio is coming to AirPlay, giving users an immersive experience when streaming audio from iPhone and iPad to HomePod and compatible third-party audio equipment.
- In the US and Canada, Live Captions for English is coming to FaceTime with Continuity Camera in tvOS 18. This allows users to read what other people are saying in a FaceTime conversation on the biggest screen in the house.
