Updating the apps on your Apple TV is necessary to ensure they have the newest features, including fixes for important things like security glitches.

Some updates are also necessary to ensure that apps are able to function with your Apple TV's current operating system.

The easiest way to update your apps is to set them to update automatically. However, this can take up a lot of space if you have a wide array of apps regularly updating.

If you have some apps on your device that you don't use often and aren't necessary to constantly update, you can turn off automatic updates and instead update individual apps manually.

Here's how to update apps either way.
