So far, if you wanted to watch Apple TV+ Originals, you needed an Apple device with the Apple TV app installed or a TV with support for the app, in order to subscribe to the service and start watching shows. But now, after years of exclusivity, Apple has finally brought the Apple TV app to Android mobile devices. This includes support for phones, tablets, and foldables. Apple says the Apple TV app for Android has been built from the ground up to offer a familiar and intuitive user interface. And the best part is that users can subscribe to Apple TV+ and the MLS Season Pass using their Google Play account on Android mobile devices and Google TV. The app is available across the world, and here are all the details you need to know about it.

Free Trial And Subscription

To make it easier to get into the Apple TV experience, Apple is offering a seven-day free trial for users to explore Apple TV+ and discover its Originals. This makes it more convenient to subscribe to Apple TV+ directly from the Apple TV app on Android.
