Google and Apple are keeping their promise to be nice to each other. At least, on your TV services anyway. After announcing in December that the Apple TV app would arrive on Chromecasts with Google TV, companies today announced that the service is now available globally.
With the integration, you will not only be able to use the Apple app from your Chromecast interface, but you will also be able to access your purchased movies and shows, as well as personalized suggestions without having to cast your iPhone to the TV.
In the U.S., Google TV users will see Apple Originals in their personalized recommendations and search results. You can also ask Google Assistant to open the Apple app or play one of its exclusive titles. These features will be rolled out to the rest of the world “in the coming months,” said Google.
The Apple TV app and the other features mentioned here will also be available on the new Google TV sets announced at CES by Sony and TCL. Google says it plans to “roll out to more Android TV devices in the coming months”.
