Apple on Monday released tvOS 17.6, its sixth major update to the latest Apple TV operating system.
The tvOS 17.6 update can be downloaded via the Settings app on the Apple TV by going to “System” -> “Software Update.” If you have automatic software updates turned on your Apple TV will be upgraded to tvOS 17.6 automatically.
tvOS updates are typically minor in scale compared to other operating system updates, focusing primarily on bug fixes and smaller improvements. No new features were found during the tvOS 17.6 beta testing process and Apple’s release notes reflect that.
