Apple released iOS 27 beta 4 today, and it comes with a useful new “Automatic Downloads” feature in the Apple TV app.
Here’s how it works.
Automatic downloads for Apple TV
As spotted by Aaron Perris, iOS 27 beta 4 adds this new option in the “TV” section of the Settings app.
When enabled, the feature will ensure that the next episodes of a show you’re watching in the Apple TV app are always downloaded and ready for you to watch.
“The next 2 episodes of shows you start in Continue Watching will automatically download, then delete once you finish,” Apple explains.
Here’s how to enable the new feature in iOS 27 beta 5:
1.
Open the Settings app
2.
Scroll down to “Apps”
3.
Find “TV” in the list of apps
4.
Toggle on the new “Automatic Downloads” feature
It’s a clever new feature that should mean you’ll never find yourself somewhere without the ability to keep watching your favorite Apple TV show.
The key, however, is that it works reliably — something I’ll be keeping an eye on as I continue testing iOS 27.
