The Apple TV+ streaming service certainly doesn't have to worry about a lack of viewers - even if it didn't seem that way at first. We don't know the exact numbers in this regard, but given that Apple has been giving away a year's free use of it with select new products, it's clear that the viewer base will be quite strong. If you are also a  TV+ user, you can read our tips to make using the app even better for you.

Slow Wi-Fi? No problem

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a perfectly fast, stable and reliable internet connection. If you play content on  TV+ while connected to Wi-Fi, it is automatically streamed in the highest possible quality.

Recommendation settings

The TV app – like a number of other streaming apps of all kinds – “tracks” what shows you watch, and based on that tracking, recommends more content for you.

Run on your device Settings -> TV, head to the section Device preferences a deactivate possibility Use playback history.

Limit settings

Then you can in the category Media to Apple Music set necessary limitations.
