Apple TV by far is the ultimate source of entertainment and is improving with every new generation of tvOS. Nonetheless, tvOS 13 offers multi-account support where you can add multiple user profiles to your Apple TV, and easily switch between them. Before tvOS 13, users were able to add more than one account with family sharing support for App Store purchases. But it has nothing to do with what they watch.

Moreover, now it is super simple to switch between profiles with the refurbished control center. Follow along, and we’ll dive deeper into this to see how it works.
