Apple TV on Android? Long-Awaited App May Finally Be Arriving

Apple is developing an Apple TV app for Android smartphone users. The platform is specific to the Apple platform, while some smart TVs let you use apps. This new development is an important step for the tech giant, which has always kept its services exclusively for its own users.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is currently hiring engineers to develop software for the Apple TV app on Android. Rumors began to circulate after Apple posted a job listing for the role of Android Software Engineer- Apple TV App. The job description reads, “The Apple TV app team is looking for a proactive, hardworking and experienced Senior Android Engineer to lead the development of fun new features and help build apps used by millions to watch and discover TV and sports.

Apple is yet to officially announce the development of the Apple TV app for Android users. The Apple TV app serves as a hub for entertainment content, including Apple TV+ exclusive shows, movies and documentaries. It stands as a healthy competitor to other streaming giants like Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime.

In India, a one-month subscription to Apple TV+ costs around Rs. 99 will happen. Also, the company offers its customers a special 7-day trial period to test its services. For new buyers of Apple devices like iPhone, iPad or Mac, the tech giant is offering three months of Apple TV+ subscription for free. Also, Apple TV+ allows users to share their subscription with up to five family members. Currently, Apple TV+ is available on Amazon Fire Stick, PlayStation, Xbox, XInfinity, Google TV, Samsung Smart TV, LG Smart TV, Roku and more. Users can also view exclusive Apple TV+ content on the desktop site tv.apple.com/in.

Earlier in 2015, Apple launched its Music app exclusively for iOS users, but later that year it was made available on Android.
