With so many streaming services available, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the number of shows and movies we want to watch. This is where Apple TV folders come in handy. By organizing your content into folders, you can easily find what you’re looking for and keep your Apple TV interface clean and tidy.
In this article, we’ll explore how to work with Apple TV folders to create an organized view of your content.
Creating Folders on Apple TV
To create a folder, follow these simple steps:
1. Highlight the app or channel you wish to include in the folder.
2. Press and hold the touchpad until the icon starts shaking.
3. Drag the app/channel on top of another one that you want to add to the folder.
4. Release the touchpad, and the two apps/channels will be added to a new folder.
You can add up to 12 items in a single folder and create multiple folders based on your preferences.
Organizing Your Folders
Once you’ve created folders on your Apple TV, it’s important to organize them in a way that makes sense to you. Here are some tips for organizing your folders:
1. Group similar apps/channels together: For example, you can create a folder for all your streaming services, another one for sports-related content, and a third one for news apps/channels.
2. Create a folder for specific genres: If you’re someone who enjoys watching different genres of movies and shows, you can create separate folders for each genre.
3. Create a favorites folder: As you continue to use your Apple TV, you’ll likely have a few apps/channels that you use more frequently than others. Creating a favorites folder will ensure that you can get to them quickly and easily.
Renaming Folders on Apple TV
By default, folders on Apple TV are named after the first two apps/channels that are added to them. However, you can rename them to something that makes more sense to you. To rename a folder, follow these steps:
1. Highlight the folder you wish to rename.
2. Press and hold the touchpad until the icon starts shaking.
3. Select “Rename” and use the on-screen keyboard to enter the new name.
4. Press the touchpad again to save the new name.
