The final version of tvOS 9.2 is now available

Apple TV-tvOS tech talk-videos-0

After seven betas, Apple has taken advantage of the keynote to announce all the news that it has introduced with the arrival of this great update of tvOS, reaching version 9.2 and where Apple seems to have listened to users and has been adding and improving the operating system that manages the Apple TV. An operating system that is based on iOS but where the main difference is found around the user interface. That user interface is the one that seems to be giving developers some problems to adapt their applications to the new Apple TV application store and its operating system.

What's new in tvOS 9.2

Create folders

Many of us are users who like to download applications and try them if we are not clear about their operation or playability. If we are regular users of action games and we have a few downloaded to the Apple TV, the possibility of creating folders is the best that Apple has offered us with this update. Thus we can group the games or applications according to the type they are.

Applications

multitasking-tvos-9.2

The multitasking view or application selector offered us open applications as if they were letters, which allowed us see a thumbnail of the application screen we are looking for, but with the arrival of tvOS 9.2, Apple has decided to use the same view that it uses in iOS 9, where all open applications are shown as if they were a book, just like it happens on the iPhone or iPad.

New languages ​​for Siri

Siri is slowly studying languages ​​in Cupertino and with each new tvOS update shows us its progress. This time Siri has learned the Spanish that is spoken in the United States (mostly the accent) and the French that is spoken in Canada.

Third-party keyboards

Although I doubt that many people use Apple TV to write continuously, it never hurts to use a bluetooth keyboard with this device, thanks to the support that Apple just added with the latest version of tvOS.

MapKit support

A new tool intended for developers so they can add links to Apple Maps in their applications.

    Dictation for passwords works. Dictation for searches does not work. It does not convert what is dictated to letters. He stays analyzing and then he leaves the option. I live in Panama and Siri is not available yet.
