How To Watch Apple TV+ Shows On Android Smartphone, Tablet

Apple was once only restricted to Macs and iPhones. Over the last few years, the brand has divulged itself into other value-added services like music streaming, payment, and more. The latest service from the company is Apple TV+ -- a video streaming service with exclusive in-house produced shows and movies.

Apple TV+ was made available for the public on November 1st. Currently, it is available for iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Mac users via the Apple TV+ app. Consumers who bought a new iOS or iPadOS or macOS-powered machine after September 10th are eligible for a free one-year subscription.

For the rest of the users, Apple TV+ subscription can be availed for Rs. 99 per month. As the name suggests the Apple TV+ can also be accessed on an Android smartphone or an Android tablet with a bit of a workaround.

As there is no native Apple TV+ app available for Android devices users have to use a web browser like Chrome to access the same. Follow these instructions to access Apple TV+ on an Android smartphone.

I tried this tutorial on the OnePlus 7 Pro running on Android 10 OS using Google Chrome browser and I did not face any issues with respect to accessing Apple TV+ service.

• Make sure that the smartphone is connected to a high-speed internet
• Go to tv.apple.com
• Login using Apple ID that has Apple TV+ subscription
• Complete 2-way authentication (if you have enabled)
• Start to watch Apple TV+ shows

The Drawback

Though this feature worked flawlessly on my Android smartphone, there is no option to download videos which is present on Apple TV+ app on iPhones and iPads. Considering the fact that the users can access Apple TV+ on any device the brand might release Apple TV+ app for Android devices in the future.
