Apple Previews New tvOS 27 Feature

Apple has announced that "Larger Text" support is coming to tvOS, allowing users to increase the on-screen text size to make it easier to read.

"Larger Text" lets you adjust the size of text in supported apps, with the option already available on other devices like the iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro.

This was one of the new accessibility features that Apple previewed earlier this week, with others including automatic captions for personal videos recorded with an iPhone, natural language support for Voice Control, and more.

Apple said all of the new accessibility features are coming later this year, so we expect the "Larger Text" option to be added to the Apple TV's Settings app as part of tvOS 27, which will be unveiled during the WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, June 8. Following beta testing, the software update should be released in September.
