Well, it finally happened. Apple TV+ is now on Android. Yeah, I know—took them long enough.
If you’ve ever tried to watch Ted Lasso or Severance without an Apple device, you know the struggle. Apple had its streaming service locked behind its walled garden, making sure you needed an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV to watch. But now? You can just download the app on Android like it’s 2025 or something (oh wait, it is).
So, Why Now?
Good question. Apple has always been pretty stubborn about keeping things exclusive. Their whole thing is making products that work best when you’re fully in their ecosystem.
But let’s be real—if you want to compete with Netflix and Disney+, you can’t just ignore half the world’s smartphones. Android has a massive market share, and keeping Apple TV+ off those devices meant missing out on millions of potential subscribers.
Maybe Apple finally realized that, or maybe they just got tired of watching their streaming service get overshadowed. Either way, here we are.
How to Get Apple TV+ on Android
It’s super easy now:
1. Open the Google Play Store.
2. Search for Apple TV.
3. Install it.
4. Sign in with an Apple ID.
5. Start watching.
That’s it. No hacks, no weird third-party apps—just good ol’ streaming, the way it should’ve been from the start.
What’s Actually Worth Watching?
If you’ve never used Apple TV+ before, you might be wondering if it’s even worth it. Short answer: Yeah, kinda. They don’t have as much content as Netflix, but the stuff they do have is really good.
Here are some shows actually worth checking out:
• Ted Lasso – Feel-good comedy with heart. Even if you don’t care about soccer, you’ll love it.
• Severance – Psychological sci-fi thriller that’ll make you rethink your 9-to-5.
• Shrinking – Jason Segel and Harrison Ford in a comedy that somehow hits you in the feels.
• Foundation – If you love sci-fi, this one’s a must-watch.
• Monarch: Legacy of Monsters – Because who doesn’t love a little Godzilla action?
What’s Next?
This move makes you wonder—if Apple TV+ is on Android now, what’s next? We already have Apple Music on Android, but could we see iMessage or FaceTime follow? Probably not anytime soon, but hey, a few years ago, most of us didn’t think Apple would ever budge on this either.
For now, though, let’s just enjoy the fact that we can finally watch Apple TV+ without needing to own an iPhone. Took long enough.
