Apple TV adds support for Google Cast even as Netflix ditches the feature

Apple is making it easier for Android users to watch Apple TV content on the big screen. The company on Monday said the Apple TV app for Android will now support Google Cast functionality, which lets users stream videos and audio directly to their TV.

Apple TV’s lineup of original content is smaller than what other streaming services offer, but it still features a number of popular shows and films like “Severance,” “Pluribus,” “The Studio,” “The Morning Show,” “Slow Horses,” and the recent summer blockbuster, “F1.” For sports, Apple TV offers live-streamed “Friday Night Baseball” doubleheaders, plus Major League Soccer matches, and Formula 1 races in the U.S.

To cast to their TV, users will need to install the Apple TV app from Google Play, which works on smartphones, tablets, and foldables. Just tap the Cast icon in the top right.
