Apple on Monday released tvOS 18.1, the latest version of the tvOS operating system for the Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD set top boxes.
The tvOS 18.1 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 18.1 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 18.1 beta testing process. Apple’s release notes for tvOS 18.1 have yet to be updated, but if any notable new features are included when Apple does update them we’ll inform you in this space.
