Below, we&#8217;ve rounded up several new features and enhancements coming in the software update.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>An overview of new tvOS 16 features for Apple TV:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cross-device connectivity:<\/strong> Apple says tvOS 16 enables developers to integrate their Apple TV app with their iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch apps to unlock new experiences that &#8220;feel more personal than ever.&#8221;  For example, developers can deliver more personalized workouts on the Apple TV based on motion sensor data from the Apple Watch, display real-time information on the iPhone while a video plays in their Apple TV app, or include more screens for gameplay.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expanded game controller support:<\/strong> Apple says many additional Bluetooth game controllers are supported on tvOS 16. Notably, this includes support for Nintendo&#8217;s Joy-Cons and Pro Controller.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HDR10 + support<\/strong> has been added to the Apple TV app on tvOS 16.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multiuser improvements:<\/strong> tvOS 16 offers improved system integration for user profiles in Apple TV apps.  Apple says with credentials stored in a shared keychain, users won&#8217;t need to sign in and choose their profile every time they launch an Apple TV app that has been updated with this functionality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Matter support:<\/strong> Matter is a new standard that will enable compatible smart home accessories to work together seamlessly across multiple platforms, including Apple&#8217;s HomeKit, Amazon&#8217;s Alexa, and more.  A home hub is needed to control Matter accessories in the Home app, which can be an Apple TV updated to tvOS 16 or a HomePod \/ HomePod mini updated to the latest software version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apple said the first public beta of tvOS 16 will be released in July, and the software update will be released to all users in the fall.  It&#8217;s likely that additional tvOS 16 features will be uncovered as beta testing continues over the next few months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><h2 class=\"heading--1cooZo6n heading--h3--23mHEuMI inline--Nnb-B96C\">Popular Stories<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"block--2_RlJqhg\">\n<div class=\"contentRow--SgKuAPKd\">\n<div class=\"body--1atSUTC3\">\n<h3 class=\"heading--1cooZo6n heading--h4--3n5gZUlc title--3FvxcRdi\">WWDC 2022 Apple Event Live Keynote Coverage: iOS 16, macOS 13, MacBook Air, and More<\/h3>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) starts today with the traditional keynote kicking things off at 10:00 am Pacific Time.
