Apple on Wednesday released tvOS 18.2, the latest version of the tvOS operating system for the Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD set top boxes.
The tvOS 18.2 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 18.2 automatically.
tvOS 18.2 brings natural language search support for Siri to help you find movies, music, and TV shows. More importantly for some users, the update brings a selection of Snoopy screen savers that are available as an alternative to the aerial, memory, and portrait screen saver options.
The update also includes a new option that lets the Apple TV automatically detect the best aspect ratio for a television or projector. Aspect ratio options include 16:9, 21:9, 2.37:1, 2.39:1, 2.40:1, DCI 4K, and 32:9.
When Apple unveiled tvOS 18 in June, a 21:9 aspect ratio option was announced as a feature, but the option was not present in the initial tvOS 18 public release.
Apple shares full release notes for tvOS in its tvOS support document, which is updated after each new version of tvOS comes out.
