You can also add people to your Apple TV using the Home app on an iOS, iPadOS, or macOS (running Catalina or later) device. The Home app lets you add multiple users at the same time and customize each person’s access by device. For example, you can set up an Apple TV in the kids’ room with a child account, and set up another Apple TV in the living room with both parent and child accounts.
Tip: Updates to the Home app in iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, and macOS 13.1 offer more reliable and efficient control of connected devices in your home when you use Apple TV as a home hub. For more information, see the Apple Support article Upgrade to the new Home architecture.
