**New York, NY** – Apple TV users, both seasoned and new, can enhance their viewing experience with several lesser-known features, according to Gear Patrol. These hidden functionalities improve navigation, audio sharing, and overall usability.
One handy trick involves the Siri remote. Holding down the Siri button and asking “What did they/he/she say?” automatically rewinds 15 seconds and activates subtitles, perfect for catching missed dialogue. Additionally, users can revert the TV button on their remote back to its original function—accessing the Home Screen—by adjusting settings. This change reverses an update implemented in 2019.
tvOS 17 introduced a much-requested sleep timer, allowing users to set the Apple TV to automatically turn off after 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes. A shared audio feature now allows two pairs of AirPods or compatible Beats headphones to simultaneously listen to audio, ideal for late-night movie nights. Individual volume control is available for each pair.
Finally, for those perpetually losing their Siri remotes, tvOS 17’s new “Find My Remote” feature utilizes the iPhone’s Remote app to track down the missing device. This feature requires both the Apple TV and iPhone to be running the latest operating systems. These tips promise a more convenient and enjoyable Apple TV experience for all users.
