Instagram adds Apple TV support to its App Store listing
The App Store page was updated on October 23 to list Apple TV among compatible platforms, with little promotion from Instagram.
Instagram updated its App Store listing on October 23 to include Apple TV among supported platforms, adding television support to the app. Apple TV now appears alongside iPad and iOS on the compatibility list. According to theverge.com, the release received little promotion from the company.
Archived versions of the App Store page from October 18 listed only iPad and iOS as compatible platforms, so the Apple TV entry was added during the five days before the update. MacRumors spotted the change to the listing.
Instagram is owned by Meta. The company did not attach an announcement to the listing change, and the app's television availability is visible through the App Store page rather than a separate launch.
Earlier television work
In December of last year, Instagram began testing a version of the platform focused on Reels, live streams, and other video content for larger screens. In June, Instagram launched a slew of new features for the TV app, which is available on Amazon's Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs, and Google TV.
