Apple TV in Android may soon be accessible on Android smartphones and tablets, according to reports.
The software is now accessible on Apple devices like the iPhone, iPad, and more. Only smart TVs within the Android ecosystem have access to Apple’s video streaming platform. However, this may soon change, as a rumor says that the Cupertino-based tech behemoth has hired programmers to offer its streaming service to Android users.
Apple TV App for Android Devices is under Development.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is looking to hire developers to create software for the Apple TV app for Android. A job posting was discovered for the position of Android Software Engineer – Apple TV App.
It’s worth noting that the company’s streaming app and subscription service have somewhat different titles – the Apple TV app allows customers to sign up for and use their Apple TV+ subscription on Apple devices as well as Android TV.
According to the job description, the Apple TV app team is searching for a proactive, dedicated, and experienced senior Android developer to lead the development of interesting new features and contribute to the creation of an app used by millions to watch and discover TV and sports.
The iPhone maker launched its streaming service in 2019 to compete with major platforms like Netflix and Disney+. While it largely concentrates on original material, including highly rated episodes like For All Mankind, Severance, and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, as well as the Oscar-winning feature CODA, it is presently only available for Apple devices and Android TV.
Those who want to view Apple TV+ programming on an Android phone or tablet must do so through the platform’s web interface. Apple is apparently trying to enter the Android smartphone and tablet market, after the app’s release on platforms such as smart TVs, Roku, and Amazon streaming devices.
