"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. The tech giant's adoption of Google Cast signals its interest in making Apple TV a more competitive streaming service at a time when the market is seeing increased consolidation. Netflix and Paramount are fighting to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, and Disney is preparing to merge Hulu into its own streaming app."
"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."
Apple added Google Cast support to the Apple TV app for Android, allowing users to stream video and audio directly from smartphones, tablets, and foldables to their TVs. Users can cast by installing the Apple TV app from Google Play and tapping the Cast icon in the top right. The move may make Apple TV more competitive as streaming companies consolidate through mergers and acquisitions. The timing follows Netflix's recent removal of Google Cast support, which frustrated subscribers. Apple TV's original library is smaller than competitors but includes shows and films such as Severance, Pluribus, The Morning Show, Slow Horses, The Studio, and the summer hit F1. Sports offerings include Friday Night Baseball, Major League Soccer, and U.S. Formula 1 races.
