iOS 27 beta 4 adds useful Apple TV app feature, here’s how it works

Apple released iOS 27 beta 4 today and it comes with a useful new “Automatic Downloads” feature in the Apple TV app. That’s how it works.

Automatic downloads for Apple TV

How he saw it Aaron PerrisiOS 27 beta 4 adds this new option in the “TV” section of the Settings app. When enabled, the feature will ensure that upcoming episodes of a show you’re watching in the Apple TV app are always downloaded and ready for you to watch.

“The next 2 episodes of shows you start in Continue Watching will be automatically downloaded and then deleted once you’re done,” Apple explains.

Here’s how to enable the new feature in iOS 27 beta 5:

1. Open the Settings app
2. Scroll down to “Applications”
3. Find “TV” in the application list
4. Activate the new “Automatic Downloads” feature

It’s a smart new feature that should mean you’ll never find yourself somewhere without the ability to continue watching your favorite Apple TV show. The key, however, is that it works reliably, something I’ll keep an eye on as I continue testing iOS 27.
