Back in October, the YouTube team officially announced that it was bringing the YouTube TV app to more devices, which would effectively broaden the service’s reach in a big way.
While YouTube TV aims to cut the cord, for folks who haven’t wanted to use Chromecast (or Apple’s AirPlay) to watch content on their TV, the option hasn’t really been a good one.
If you’re like me, you come across interesting YouTube videos all the time. Someone shares a link with you in WhatsApp. A creator you follow raves about a video they loved on Twitter. You discover a Reddit thread filled with gems. But there’s no way you can watch those videos right then. You’re only goofing off from work for 15 minutes, you don’t actually have the time to watch that 5-minute video right now. And so that video is lost in the oblivion that is your browser history.
Unfortunately, Instagram has yet to release an official app for the Apple TV. But that doesn’t mean third-party options haven’t swept in to save the day. One such app is Tangent for Instagram, an exclusive for the Apple TV that puts your photos on the big screen.
NASA has updated its official Apple TV app to add live-streaming from the International Space Station, on-demand space videos, and over 15,000 stunning photos. The update brings the official tvOS app in line with that for rival platforms.
