When you use the Apple TV with several people, it is useful to give everyone their own account. Adding and removing people is very simple.
How to add accounts to Apple TV
Is your Apple TV in the living room? Then you probably use the box with several people. For a long time, however, it was not possible to link multiple accounts to the Apple TV. luckily, tvOS 13 has changed that.
This is how you add accounts to the Apple TV
- Go to ‘Settings’ on your Apple TV;
- Choose ‘Users and accounts’ and select ‘Add new user’;
- Press ‘Continue’ and then choose ‘Enter new’;
- Then provide the new user’s Apple ID and password and tap Sign In.
To quickly switch between users, press the TV button on the remote control. A new menu will open on the right, where you can indicate who is currently watching. Here you can also quickly switch to sleep mode and switch between AirPlay speakers.

Delete a user
When you use the Apple TV with several roommates or family members, each profile gets its own personal viewing lists. Music and recommendations are also tailored to individual preferences. It is therefore wise to give everyone their own account, because that way things remain separate.
You can add and remove users at any time. To do this, you again go to the settings on the Apple TV. Choose ‘Users and accounts’ and go to ‘Current user’. Here you choose the account you want to delete. Then click on ‘Account from [naam]’and select’ Remove User from Apple TV ‘.
