Apple has rolled out some cool new features with tvOS 26 that make your Apple TV 4K more customizable than ever. If you love tweaking settings to get things just right, this update is your jam!

First up, you can now choose which aerial screen savers you want to see. Dive into the Settings app, head over to Screen Saver, and you’ll find the option to pick your favorite aerial views. Previously, you could only disable categories, but now you can handpick each one. Perfect for anyone who loves some underwater scenes but not all.

Another handy update is the new subtitle styles. Now, you can easily switch up how subtitles appear directly from the video player. Choose from styles like Classic or Transparent Background. If you’re into more detailed settings, you can still dig deeper in the Settings app.

For those who use audio gadgets, Continuous Audio Connection ensures seamless sound transitions, especially if you’ve got a fancy audio setup. Plus, any AirPlay-enabled speaker can now be set as your default audio output, not just Apple’s HomePod. So, whether you’re rocking a Sonos or Bose, you won’t need to reconnect every time.
