If you need to know how to watch Apple TV Plus on Android then it’s likely you’ve heard about the great content provided by this streaming service and want to know if it’ll work on your Android device. After all, the best Apple TV Plus shows include the vaunted football series, Ted Lasso as well as The Morning Show, For All Mankind and many others.
Of course, Apple TV+ runs on slick apps across all Apple devices, obviously including iPhone. So you may think that using an Android device means you can’t use the service.
