Apple iOS / iPadOS 17.2 eliminated the iTunes TV / movie option and migrated to the Apple TV app

CTOnews.com, December 12 (Xinhua)-- in addition to the official update of iOS / iPadOS 17.2 today, Apple has also adjusted the server side, removing the option to buy and access TV shows and movies in the iTunes Store app.

The user now opens the iTunes Store app and automatically directs the user to the Apple TV app when trying to access the "TV series" or "movie" options section.

In the pop-up prompt, inform the user that the relevant functions have been migrated to the Apple TV application, and the user can access the Apple TV application to find the content of the program that has been purchased.

CTOnews.com reported in November that based on the code released by Apple, it showed that Apple phased out iTunes Movie Store, migrated related features to Apple TV apps, and officially landed in the iOS / iPadOS 17.2 update.

Apple disabled the separate "iTunes Movies" and "iTunes tv shows" apps in tvOS 17.2RC, which was released in December. Although the app will still exist on the home screen, the user will be redirected to the Apple TV stand-alone app after opening the app.
