Instagram is expanding its reach into living rooms with the release of Instagram for TV on Apple TV. The platform initially began testing a version focused on Reels, live streams, and other video content in December of the previous year. In June, it launched a range of new features for the app, which is already available on Amazon’s Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs, and Google TV.
Despite the significant addition, Meta has kept the rollout relatively low-key. The update to the app was first spotted by MacRumors on October 23rd, listing Apple TV as one of its compatible platforms alongside iPad and iOS, replacing the earlier listing that only included the latter two. As Instagram looks to capitalize on the increasing popularity of microdramas and longer-form content, the introduction of the app on Apple TV is expected to play a crucial role in its future strategy.
