tvOS 27 removes a feature that some Apple TV users might miss after updating
9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple TV users will receive an updated Podcasts app with tvOS 27, featuring new video podcast streaming technology based on HLS.
- The update aligns with similar video podcast support introduced in iOS 16.4 and macOS 14 Golden Gate for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- A notable change in tvOS 27 is the removal of support for shows added via custom URLs, such as membership-only or paid podcast feeds, on Apple TV 4K.
- Custom podcast feeds remain supported on other Apple devices including iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, and Mac with their respective OS 27 updates.
- The absence of custom URL support on Apple TV is likely an oversight or a temporary omission that Apple may address in a future update.
