Apple TV is similar to and just as easy as, installing them on an iPhone or iPad. The operating system that runs on the Apple TV, called tvOS, is slightly different from iOS, so the steps for installing apps on it are slightly different, too. Unlike with the newer models, users cannot add their own apps to the 3rd, 2nd, or 1st generation Apple TV models except in one case, as we'll see. That's because the 3rd generation Apple TV and earlier models don't have an App Store for third-party apps.
But that doesn't mean that new apps don't get added. When the Apple TV debuted, it had less than a dozen channels of Internet content. By the time Apple stopped making these models, there were dozens. Apple no longer supports the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Generation Apple TV, so new channels are no longer being added to those models. For the latest apps and most options, upgrade to one of the new Apple TV models. There was generally no warning when new channels appeared, and users couldn't control if they were installed or not.
When you turned your Apple TV on, you'd find that a new icon had appeared on the home screen and that you now had new content available. Sometimes Apple bundled new apps in with updates to the Apple TV's software, but new channels often debuted as they were ready.
Actively scan device characteristics for identification. If you have this model, you can't download new apps, but you can update your software to update your built-in apps. Browse or search for the app that you want to download. Select the price or Get button. If you see the Open button instead of a price or the Get button, the app is already downloaded. You can limit purchases that can be made within an app.
Open Settings on Apple TV. By default, apps are automatically updated when new versions are released. Some apps let you make additional purchases within the app.
If you set up Family Sharing, you can use Ask to Buy to help control app downloads and in-app purchases. Learn more about in-app purchases. The app starts downloading to your Mac.
