Doesn't Apple do the same thing as Prime video where you can add other subscriptions through their app? Seems like this is a mistake on Apple's part while testing this feature for Netflix.
Did you unsubscribe from Netflix? If you pay and don't watch, that's actually a good deal for Netflix.
They pulled that same shit on Android as well. But I think they are integrated back in on the current generation of it.
Netflix is like the only one on Android I have that ISN'T opt-ed out.
You have to enable each service on Android TV. Most streaming services are on there.
Are you talking about the recommendations feature the home screen has or is there something ~~better~~ else that I don't know about?
Except Apple doesn’t auto-log-out people in multi-user homes, kinda makes it a PITA to do so, and forces you to have one main account.. that then becomes the nexus for all content the users/family watches.
So (a) that feed is absolutely useless in these homes and (b) some people don’t want their netflix queue showing up for everyone to see (the kids, for example).
In my experience the last accessed account within a streaming service is what shows.
Source: I've been using Apple TV for years.
Yes, that doesn’t conflict with what I said above. There are also multiple streaming services, so anyone of them could have had any one of the apple tv users as their last login.
Or, you know, you could just use Apple’s feature and switch to a different Apple TV (device) user account? This should also switch to whatever accounts that user was logged in to in all related services.
What are you even talking about?? This entire thread- no post- is about apple showing the content of the apps in the main feed?
Are you lost? This discussion has nothing to do with login in or out of specific apps.
Logging out of apple tv you imbecile
My argument is founded inherently by the fact you invented a problem of logging in/out of individual apps from thin air, then tried to lay it at my feet as my problem. This due ostensibly to your inability to follow context. The nature of your imbecility is simply implied by the facts and your blind arrogance.
AppleTVs have a quick user switch capability that I think you’re just not aware of.
Hold the menu button down and the menu comes up it’s literally the first option, the user.
If you’re not using the hardware but are instead using the app … yeah, that’s standard fare.
They do, but apps can integrate their content with the TV app without subscriptions being controlled by Apple as well.
Ahh, so this must be on apple devices only.
