## Summary

Meta has brought Instagram for TV to Apple TV, extending its effort to make Reels and other video content available on living-room screens. The launch received little attention, but it gives Instagram another platform as it looks to expand beyond short-form viewing.

Instagram first tested its TV-focused video app in December last year, then added features in June. It is also available on Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs and Google TV. Apple TV appeared on the app’s compatibility list on 23 October; the list had included only iPad and iOS as recently as 18 October. The app may support Instagram’s plans for longer, episodic videos and microdramas.
