KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 — Meta has officially rolled out a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV users in Malaysia and globally. The new application enables you to watch content natively on your television without needing to cast or mirror from a mobile device.
This is Meta’s latest effort to bring its video-first experience to shared household screens.
Instead of traditional feed browsing, the big-screen app focuses entirely on lean-back video consumption. You can watch short-form Reels, longer creator uploads and live broadcasts on your television sets.
The interface is built around interest channels that auto-play continuous video streams, making it simple to discover new clips or catch up on content from followed accounts.
