Apple is introducing sign language interpretation on select Apple TV+ originals, starting with Being Heumann on November 13. The feature includes American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) for titles like F1, Greyhound, and Way of the Warrior Kid. Each interpretation is tailored to complement the film’s tone and pacing.
Viewers must use iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS 27.2, tvOS 27.2, or visionOS 27.2, or supported third-party devices with updated apps. To enable, go to Apple TV app settings and toggle Sign Language. A hand icon appears beside other accessibility markers like AD.
During playback, select the option above the progress bar to activate the interpreter, shown in the bottom right corner. Apple will also add a curated collection titled 'Movies & Shows with American Sign Language' to improve discoverability.
