Apple today released the second beta of tvOS 27 to developers for testing, with the update coming two weeks after Apple released the first beta following the WWDC keynote.
The beta can be downloaded and installed through the Settings app on Apple TV. A free developer account is required.
tvOS 27 has few new features compared to the other 27 software updates, but it adds a redesigned Podcasts app, options for larger text, and a more responsive Control Center.
Overhead playback on an Apple TV from another Apple device is faster and apps and animations run smoother. You can also now see AppleCare coverage details in the Settings app.
