In tvOS 13 it is possible to remove unwanted apps

and clutter from your Home screen

Customise your

Apple TV Home screen

Reposition your apps, create folders and remove unwanted

clutter to make your Apple TV work better for you

W

ith so much content

available on your Apple

TV, it’s important that the

right apps and content are positioned

where you want them. You don’t

want to keep scrolling through loads

of icons to find Netflix or Apple TV,

for instance – indeed, you may want

to group like-minded apps within

individual folders and delete apps you

don’t need any more.

Apple has made customising your

Home screen easy and, with tvOS

13, it has added a new autoplay

feature that plays full-screen video

previews. It is also possible to use

Dark Mode so that the glare of the

menu screens isn’t too stark in a

dimly-lit room. This is accessed via

Settings>General>Appearance,

letting you select Light or Dark. Set

it to Automatic if you want it to follow

day and nighttime hours.

1

Press and hold

The positioning of the apps on your Apple

TV Home screen is not fixed. If you wish to

move an app, highlight it before pressing and

holding the Siri Remote’s Touch surface.

2

Swipe to move

The app icon will jiggle, at which point

you can move it around the screen. Do this

by swiping your finger on the remote’s Touch

surface until you find an ideal location.

3

Placing it top

If you place the app’s icon in the top,

highlighted row, you can benefit from dynamic

previews. Highlighting apps positioned here

can also show specific content shortcuts.
