I want a Shared Up Next for the Apple TV app.

There’s certain shows I save to watch with my partner, and other shows I watch on my own – being able to separate the two would be great 📺

@matthewcassinelli Apple barely believes families use devices together. Family Sharing got horribly broken in Sonoma TV app for one.
@ultranurd @matthewcassinelli Apple’s tvOS devs need to start over from scratch on user profiles. They’re implemented like it’s a single seat network terminal, and they don’t integrate with streamers. Just useless.

@joesteel @ultranurd what’s stupider is streamers _could_ implement the profiles feature with just an entitlement and a few lines of code, if i’m reading this right https://developer.apple.com/documentation/tvservices/mapping_apple_tv_users_to_app_profiles

they just don’t care. like you said Joe there’s no incentive to get them to adopt it and so even though the effort is tiny they’ll never do it unless forced to.

fwiw profile switching works perfectly in apple arcade games. so it’s possible! but they’re forced to make it work i assume.

Mapping Apple TV users to app profiles | Apple Developer Documentation

Adapt the content of your app for the current viewer by using an entitlement and simplifying sign-in flows.
