Starting with tvOS 18, you can display five app icons next to each other on an Apple TV instead of six using View Zoom. The larger app symbols are especially useful when an Apple TV is connected to a smaller TV, and other tvOS components are also displayed larger.
Under tvOS 17, the display of five symbols next to each other was changed to six. This allows more apps to fit on the home screen, but the disadvantage is that the symbols have become smaller. If desired, you can choose five instead of six from tvOS 18.
Set larger app icons Apple TV
- Open Settings on your Apple TV
- Go to ‘View’
- Scroll down to ‘View zoom’
- Choose ‘Large’
Once you select the ‘Zoomed in’ option for ‘View Zoom’, the app icons on the home screen will appear larger. Instead of six apps next to each other, a maximum of five are now placed next to each other.
More than just app symbols
In addition to the app icons, buttons and other parts of tvOS are also displayed larger. This makes the function ideal to use when you have connected the Apple TV to a smaller TV. This feature is new to Apple TV, but you’ve been able to use View Zoom on iPhone and iPad for a while now.
