Following its launch in 2020, the Google TV app is now available for download on iOS. If you already have the previous Google Play Movies and Company TV software installed on your phone, this app will replace it. As with its Android counterpart, the Google TV app allows you to use your smartphone as a remote control for your device with Google TV or Android TV operating system, making it easy, among other things, to type titles of the movies and TV shows you want to watch. .
You can also use the app to add content recommendations from various streaming services. Not all platforms are supported (e.g., Netflix is missing), but being able to create a single watchlist for every service you pay for is helpful. In addition, it is possible to create watch lists around your favorite actors. And as you rate movies and programs, the app will refine your suggestions. You’ll also find personalized feeds with links to news, reviews, and more. Finally, there is a section dedicated to content that you have purchased and rented from Google.
You can see most of the functionality on the screen on the iPhone that Google shares, just don’t look too closely at the notch. Download the Google TV app from the App Store.
