Apple Adds InSight Feature to its TV App in Latest Software Update
In Apple's latest software update, the third developer betas of iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and tvOS 18, a new feature was introduced in the Apple TV app. Called InSight, the new capability was previously announced at the WWDC conference, although it was not included in earlier beta releases.InSight Features
Available for select series and films on Apple TV+, InSight provides detailed information about the actors appearing in each scene, as well as any music playing. This feature appears at the bottom of the Apple TV app interface when a series or film is playing, and updates dynamically.Interactivity
Actor names are listed, and tapping one switches the programme to picture-in-picture mode while the TV app displays other series and films that person has appeared in. Tapping the name of a song adds it to the 'Saved Songs' section in Apple Music. InSight is especially useful on the Apple TV running tvOS 18, because if you connect an iPhone with iOS 18, you can view the InSight information on the Remote app without interrupting the programme or film playback.InSight and Amazon
InSight is similar to the Amazon X-Ray feature available for Prime Video content, but it doesn't offer trivia or full cast information. Currently, InSight is not available for every Apple TV+ programme, and is limited to newer series. However, Apple will likely expand the feature to additional content before the official release of iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and tvOS 18. This news represents a step forward for Apple, as it continues to enhance the user experience when watching its programmes and films, turning on-screen content information into a source of discovery and interaction during viewing. There is now anticipation about how this feature will be received by the Apple TV+ audience and what further improvements and additions Apple will bring to its streaming platform.
