Cupertino-based tech giant Apple recently introduced the latest television operating system – tvOS 17, which is bringing a host of new features to the Apple TV. These additions include FaceTime integration, a new Control Center, and the introduction of VPN app support.

As MacRumors reports, although it is yet to be determined whether there will be any restrictions, the update promises improved functionality for Apple TV users. According to the report, VPN apps could allow Apple TV users to watch geo-restricted content from any location, such as the US version of Netflix in another country.

However, in its statement, Apple focused on how VPN apps can benefit enterprise and education users, so it is possible that Apple may restrict the use of the apps.

tvOS 17 will be released later this year and is available in beta now for anyone with an Apple Developer account. The software update is compatible with all Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD models released in 2015 and later.

Apple tvOS 17 adds a new Control Center, along with other enhancements that provide a more personalized experience that works even better with the iPhone.

Apple TV 4K brings together Apple TV+ and popular streaming apps — with cinematic picture and audio quality — as well as Apple Music, Apple Fitness+ and Apple Arcade.

tvOS 17 strengthens the integration of Apple TV and iPhone with the ability to locate Siri Remote. Users can launch Apple TV Remote inside Control Center on iPhone to find their Siri Remote (2nd generation or later generation). As users get closer to the remote, an onscreen circle increases in size to guide their movement.

In addition, when using the remote on the iPhone to wake up and control the Apple TV, users will automatically be switched to their profile, ensuring they have access to their recently watched shows and personalized recommendations. Is.
