iOS 27.2 is coming next week and brings two new features for Apple TV subscribers. Apple TV has been the only major streaming service without user profiles on iPhone and iPad, but that changes with iOS and iPadOS 27.2. Profiles already exist on tvOS for big-screen viewing, and now they extend to Apple's other platforms. Profiles created on one device automatically sync across the others, keeping playback history, queues and recommendations personalized for each viewer. A profile set up for a child shows only age-appropriate content.
Apple has also added new profile image options in iOS 27.2, including characters from its kids' series such as The Snoopy Show, Frog and Toad, and Stillwater.
The second addition goes beyond subtitles. Apple TV is adding official support for sign language on select movies and shows. With iOS 27.2, users can optionally enable American Sign Language (ASL) or British Sign Language (BSL). The option is found in the Settings app under Apps, then TV, then Sign Language. Apple has not said how many titles will support sign language at launch, but the feature is a welcome accessibility improvement.
Apple TV costs $14.99 per month, or subscribers can get it at a discount through the Apple One bundle.
