Apple released multiple software updates yesterday, including iOS 26.4, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS 26.4 for the Apple TV. While tvOS updates are usually uneventful, this one introduces a new feature called “Genius Browse” in the Apple TV app. This intelligent recommendations engine provides personalized suggestions for TV shows and movies based on categories like “Thrilling Blockbusters” and “Fun for the Whole Family.”
Genius Browse utilizes recommendations from the Apple TV app and also includes content from Apple’s digital storefront and other linked streaming services like Amazon Prime and HBO Max. However, Netflix remains absent from the platform. The feature can be found on the TV app Home Screen, offering dynamic categories and personalized suggestions based on viewing habits.
In addition to Genius Browse, tvOS 26.4 introduces a new HDMI Continuous Audio Connection option to address audio issues with certain home theatre setups. The update also removes the standalone iTunes Movies and iTunes TV Shows apps, which have been inactive for over two years. Users are advised to update to tvOS 26.4 to access these new features and improvements.
