Apple TV + and iTunes

[4evaOrange]

So question. I have Apple TV + app.

If I buy/rent a movie on iTunes on my phone, will I be able to play it on my TV in the Apple TV + app.

I don’t have an APPLE tv. I have Samsung.


Or in all of this BS do I need an Apple TV to do this? I only bought apple tv+ just for a couple shows. But it’s pretty useless honestly.

Yes, as long as you have the Apple TV app, you can watch anything you rent or purchase on it.

I have the app that came with the phone.
But I wanna be able to watch it on my TV I don’t want to watch on my phone.

I can go into the app and buy/rent but I’d rather watch on my TV. So your saying I can rent on my phone and it’ll show up on my Apple TV+ app on my TV?

You’re talking the hdmi adapter thing to plug in my phone and the hdmi to my TV?

If your tv is smart, that should mean it has the ability to connect to your home network. Should be via a wireless connection.

If your phone is also on your home wireless network, you should be able to cast content from apps on your phone to your PC.

No special adapters or hardware required.

The problem is that everything I see is that I need Apple TV.

I can’t even get to anything in Apple TV +. Yes everything is logged together. But Apple TV is different from Apple TV +.

On your Samsung TV, there should already be an Apple TV+ app already downloaded.

Log into the Apple TV app using the same ID and password you use on your phone.

All the content from your phone will be available on the TV app.

But it isn’t. Cause I got stuff on my phone that I bought years and years ago but it doesn’t show in the tv app

That’s weird because every film I’ve purchased is available on my Samsung television via the Apple TV app.

And you sign in on both with the same Apple id?

I’m gonna have to look at it more

 

[PoppyHart]

You probably have multiple Apple IDs that you have used to make purchases with.

So it’s been almost two years of this no being able to buy or rent or use my library.

I finally got the answers.
Got with Apple support did a screen share on my phone. We poked around until she finally asked to see the model of the tv and after she looked it up my tv is 2017 and it isn’t compatible with the Apple TV plus. I need a 2019 tv or newer.
