Apple TV App Reportedly Preparing to Launch on Android ‘Soon’

Apple TV App Reportedly Preparing to Launch on Android ‘Soon’

With a background in sports and entertainment reporting, he’s covered everything from Broadway to college football. He cut the cord in 2014 and has a sharp eye for streaming trends and a soft spot for Hallmark movies.

Dogs and cats, the Hatfields and the McCoys, Ohio State and Michigan; there are just some rivalries that are an engrained part of who we are as a society, but one of those feuds appears to be cooling down, at least on one front. According @VNchocoTaco on Twitter — as reported by MacRumors — Apple is apparently testing its Apple TV app for a forthcoming release on Android smartphones.

Currently, the only way for Android users to access Apple TV content via their phone is by going to the service’s website and streaming through the browser. The Apple platform is already available on Android TV streaming devices, including Google Chromecast TVs. The Twitter report did not indicate when the app would launch, only that it “will soon be released.”

It is somewhat surprising that Apple has not yet released its TV app on Android smartphones as the Apple Music app has been on Android phones since 2015, just a few months after it initially launched. In addition to Android, Apple TV+ is available to stream on most devices, including Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV 4K, Roku, iPhone/iPad, Mac, Windows, LG Smart TV, Samsung Smart TV, Sony Smart TV, and VIZIO Smart TV.

Apple TV

Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) is a subscription video streaming service for $14.99 per month, offering a growing slate of original series, films, documentaries, and specials. Unlike other platforms that combine licensed titles with originals, Apple TV is built entirely around exclusive programming, making it the home of critically acclaimed hits such as “Ted Lasso,” “Severance,” “The Morning Show,” and “Silo.” Its lineup continues to expand with award-winning dramas, comedies, family-friendly shows, and blockbuster original films like “CODA,” which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

In October 2025, Apple TV agreed to a deal with Formula 1 to exclusively broadcast all Formula 1 races starting with the 2026 season.

Apple TV also features coverage of all regular-season matches for Major League Soccer (MLS) at no additional cost.

On August 28th, 2026, the price of Apple TV was increased from $12.99 per month to $14.99 per month, the second increase in as many years.

The service is available worldwide through the Apple TV app, which is built into Apple devices and supported on most smart TVs, streaming players like Roku and Fire TV, game consoles, and web browsers. Subscribers can watch on demand, download episodes and movies for offline viewing, and stream in 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, where available. Apple TV also offers family sharing, allowing up to six people to use one subscription at no extra cost.

With a competitive monthly price and bundles available through Apple One — which combines Apple TV with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, iCloud storage, and more — the service continues to grow as a key part of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple TV delivers one of the strongest collections of exclusive content in the streaming space for viewers seeking prestige originals, cinematic storytelling, and seamless access across devices.
