After playing some of the games intended exclusively for tvOS and connecting your favorite streaming apps on your Apple TV, there are still more to do about the Apple TV. Here are the tips and tricks to better enhance your user experience.

Siri Remote Tricks

Siri can do much more than just find titles. She can give recommendations, supply you information about what you are viewing and figure out for you what you are searching. Siri can do the work of browsing for content across the streaming services you subscribe to.

While you are in an app like Netflix, you can request Siri to begin playing exact TV shows episodes without searching each season. In addition, Siri can polish your search results if you do not like the initial outcomes. Not only that, Siri can pause to answer questions or perform tasks.

Other Things You Can Do

You can also add numerous Apple IDs to your TV, skip forward, jump back, use the Apple TV remote to control your screen and activate VoiceOver. Moreover, you can enlarge your screen or use Family Sharing on the Apple TV to watch TV shows and movies family members have purchased.

Furthermore, you can also command text with your voice, watch live channels, and share photos from your Mac to your TV. You can also consolidate your home screen with app folders, can do AirPlay on Apple TV or use your iPhone or Apple Watch as a remote.

Rebooting Apple TV

Since you cannot turn off your Apple TV, reboot it if you need to by tapping through Settings, System and then Restart. If that, for some reason, does not work, hold down both the menu and home buttons on the Siri remote at the same time. After that, let them go as soon as your display starts flashing, according to MacWorld.
