This feature is for the Apple TV app on your iPhone not the Apple TV device it’s self.

Spotted by Aaron Perris on X the new “Automatic Downloads” feature can be found in the TV section of the settings app on iOS 27 Beta 4.


Here’s how it works:

The “Automatic Downloads” feature will download the next 2 episodes of shows you start in “Continue Watching” will automatically download then automatically delete when you finish watching them.

How to enable it:

To enable Automatic Downloads on your iPhone (iOS 27 Developer Beta 4).

  • Open the “Settings app”

  • Scroll down to the “apps” section

  • look for the “TV” app

  • Toggle “Automatic Downloads”

Quick note: this feature will download shows to your iPhone’s storage, make sure you have enough space for downloads.
