Personalize the Home tab in the Apple TV app on iPad
The Home tab brings your favorite shows, movies, channels, and sports together in one place. Pick up where you left off with Continue Watching, or discover Apple TV channels and streaming apps—personalized just for you.
Note: The availability of Apple Media Services varies by country or region. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.
Pick up where you left off in the Continue Watching row
In iPadOS 18.1, the Continue Watching row displays content you’ve already started to watch or plan to watch. Shows and movies appear in the order you’re most likely to want to watch them. For example, when a TV episode finishes, the next episode automatically appears in Continue Watching. When a live sports event for a team you follow is in progress, it appears first in the Continue Watching list if it’s available to watch in the Apple TV app.
Go to the Apple TV app on your iPad.
Tap Home in the sidebar, swipe through the Continue Watching row, then tap an item.
If the item is available for you to watch, it begins playing immediately.
Note: The Continue Watching row on the Home tab displays movies, TV shows, and live sports events from any app or channel you connected to the Apple TV app. For more information on connecting apps and channels, see Discover channels and apps.
Add or remove an item in your Watchlist
In iPadOS 18.1, you can add movies and TV shows that you want to save for later to your Watchlist.

Do any of the following:
Add an item to your Watchlist: Touch and hold the item, then tap Add to Watchlist.
Remove an item from your Watchlist: Touch and hold the item in the Continue Watching or Watchlist row, then tap Remove from Watchlist.
Resume watching on another device: You can see your Watchlist in the Apple TV app on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro, or supported smart TV where you’re signed in to the same Apple Account.
Items added to your Watchlist appear in the Continue Watching row and the Watchlist row on the Home tab.
