Expanding Beyond Apple Devices
Since its 2019 launch, Apple TV+ was initially restricted to Apple devices but gradually extended to platforms like Android TV, Chromecast with Google TV, and select smart TVs.
By bringing the app to Android phones and tablets, Apple aims to broaden its market reach, tapping into Android’s 3.9 billion global user base—a move that could double Apple TV+’s audience when combined with Apple’s 2.2 billion active devices.
How to Access Apple TV+ on Android
The Apple TV+ app is now available as a free download on the Google Play Store, with a subscription fee of $9.99 (R185) per month, consistent across all platforms.
Subscribers can enjoy a seamless experience, as content will automatically sync across devices—meaning users can start watching on an Apple TV device and continue on an Android phone without missing a moment.
New users can also take advantage of a 7-day free trial before committing to a subscription.
Where Else Can You Watch Apple TV+?
Beyond Android smartphones and tablets, Apple TV+ is accessible on:
✅ PlayStation (PS4 & PS5)
✅ Xbox (One & Series S/X)
✅ Roku
✅ Amazon Fire TV
This move signals Apple’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the streaming industry, ensuring more users can access its exclusive content—regardless of their device preference.
