Siri can also now search YouTube.

If you’ve tried the new version of iTunes and have any feedback to offer, please let us know what you think in the comments. This works for both free and paid apps, but only when you first get a new app.

Improvements to Photos and Apple Music have also been mirrored across tvOS, while, for you night owls, Dark Mode is also contained within today’s update. One last feature on the Siri front, you can now use your Apple TV as a HomeKit hub, meaning that you can turn off the lights or adjust the temperature of your thermostat using Siri. Your Apple TV automatically groups photos into albums based on location, dates and more.

Here’s what’s new in tvOS 10. They’re also customizable too so it’s fun to play around with before you share with others on the TV screen.

Some of the biggest updates to tvOS 10 will come from developer apps. Ultimately though, Apple required game developers to support the Siri Remote despite its limited utility as a game controller.

tvOS 10 promises to put an end to this tortuous dance with single sign-on via the Apple TV’s Settings app. Now when you download an iOS app to an iOS device, if there is an associated tvOS app, it will be automatically downloaded to your Apple TV. Photos adds new Memories regularly, so be sure to check back often.
