Apple TV App for Android Lets You Cast to Your TV
Apple TV on Android now supports Google Cast. This update enables you to beam shows and movies straight from your phone to a TV or compatible streaming device, as long as both devices share the same Wi‑Fi network.
The Android version of Apple TV debuted earlier this year, and the new casting capability arrives with the app’s latest update (version 2.2). Reports from 9to5Google indicate that a cast icon appears in the top-right corner of a video. Once casting begins, you can control playback and adjust audio and subtitle settings directly from the mobile app.
Casting is a handy feature for travelers or anyone who prefers not to use a TV’s built‑in app. Although Apple TV’s iOS app supports AirPlay, it currently does not support Google Cast.
This development comes shortly after Netflix reduced the scope of casting on Android and iOS. While you can still cast from the Netflix mobile app, it’s limited to a select group of TVs and devices. Netflix has also been in the spotlight for other major moves, including its acquisition discussions involving Warner Bros., HBO, and HBO Max.
Apple TV has also made headlines for other reasons. The service recently increased its subscription price and rebranded from Apple TV+ to Apple TV, accompanied by a fresh, more vibrant logo.
Editor’s Notes
Apple TV scored a notable win with the success of its original film, F1, and announced exclusive rights to stream the motorsport in the United States in 2026. The movie itself premiered on the platform on December 12.
