Apple recently released iOS 27.2 to the public alongside macOS 27.2 and tvOS 27.2. For Apple TV, this was the first update since tvOS 27 debuted in September, because Apple skipped version 27.1 entirely. Unlike iOS, tvOS updates don't usually come with release notes, but a support document on Apple's website outlines exactly what changed in tvOS 27.2. There aren't any major changes this time, but you'll still find a few new features to try out. From new screen saver options to FaceTime improvements, here's everything new coming to your Apple TV with the latest tvOS.
