What changed
Instagram for TV is now available on Apple TV, bringing Reels, live streams and other Instagram video to the living room. The rollout follows an initial test that began in December 2025 and later expansion to Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs and Google TV.
Why it matters
Instagram is treating the television as another place for its video products, not just a larger phone screen. Apple TV adds another major living-room platform to the lineup, giving Instagram more room to make Reels and live content part of ordinary TV viewing.
The practical question is how consistently the experience works across all those devices. Apple TV support widens distribution, but the rollout’s market coverage, supported models, monetisation and user numbers remain unclear.
