Apple has also launched tvOS 16.1 that comes with a new, more compact and personalized interface for Siri and a few other features. The Siri interface remained unchanged since the arrival of Siri to Apple TV in 2015 but this tvOS update will replace it with a redesigned one.
Apple says:
“This fall, new features coming to the Apple TV experience with tvOS 16 include updates to Siri that will make it even easier for customers to use their voice to control Apple TV and interact with the results.
Siri on Apple TV features a complete redesign, and will be able to recognize each user’s voice, so they can easily access their movies, shows, music, games, and apps, and pick up where they left off. By using the Siri Remote and asking “What should I watch?” users can get tailored recommendations.
The more compact design of Siri on Apple TV allows users to quickly view results without leaving the action onscreen.”
