What’s new in tvOS 26
Dive into the latest key technologies and capabilities.
Automatic Sign-In API
The new Automatic Sign-In API lets people sign in to your app once — on one device — and access it across each of their Apple devices. This eliminates the need to re-enter usernames and passwords, so people can enjoy your app seamlessly from any screen.
New design
The new design across Apple platforms elevates the content people care about most, and creates a unified design language between platforms — all while maintaining the distinct qualities that make each unique. It introduces Liquid Glass, a new dynamic material that combines the optical properties of glass with a sense of fluidity. Liquid Glass refracts content from below it, reflects light from around it, and has a gorgeous lensing effect along its edges.
