Apple TV Streams to Chromecast: Android Gets Big Screen!
16 Dec
Summary
- Apple TV app now supports Google Cast on Android devices.
- Users can stream Apple TV originals and purchases to Chromecast.
- This feature closes a gap with Apple's AirPlay streaming option.
The Apple TV app on Android devices has received a significant update, introducing support for Google Cast. This allows users to stream content, including Apple TV originals and purchased media, directly to Chromecast, Google TV, and other Cast-enabled televisions. Previously, Android users were largely restricted to their mobile devices or TVs with native Apple TV apps.
This integration addresses a long-standing feature gap for Android users, bringing them closer to the convenience offered by Apple's AirPlay streaming. Major streaming services have supported casting for years, making this an anticipated addition for Apple TV users on Android. The update means watching Apple TV on a larger screen is now as simple as tapping the Cast icon.
The feature is rolling out now through the Google Play Store, requiring users to update their Apple TV app to the latest version. This expansion signifies Apple's ongoing effort to make its services accessible across a wider range of devices, enhancing the viewing experience for Android users.
