Set up Apple TV user profiles in the Home app
You can add people to your Apple TV using the Home app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac (with macOS Catalina or later).
The Home app lets you add multiple users at the same time and customize each person’s access by device. For example, you can set up an Apple TV in the kids’ room with a child account, and set up another Apple TV in the living room with both parent and child accounts.
Make sure your Apple TV is assigned to a room on the same network controlled by the Home app.
Open the Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Tap or click in the upper-right corner, then choose Home Settings .
Tap or click Invite People, enter the Apple Account email address for the user you want to add, then tap or click Send Invite.
Tell the invitee to open the Home app on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac and do the following:
Tap Accept.
Tap , select Home Settings , then tap their name.
Tap Show Me on Apple TV, then turn on one or more Apple TVs.
The family member will now appear as a user for those Apple TVs.
Note: Updates to the Home app in iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, and macOS 13.1 offer more reliable and efficient control of connected devices in your home when you use Apple TV as a home hub. For more information, see the Apple Support article Upgrade to the new Home architecture.
