iOS 10.2 and tvOS 10.1 beta users received some great news recently. The much-awaited Single Sign-On feature for the iOS and Apple TV devices have just been activated by Apple to make it available for a number of developers that run the systems. However, the feature is rumored to support only a few cable services like GVTC Communications, Dish, Sling TV and Hotwire.
Based on reports, the fourth-generation Apple TV or Single Sign-On settings can be used by accessing the Settings app and navigating to the accounts. A TV Provider section has been already available with Home Sharing. In addition, the users can sign in to a service on this menu and are expected to have access to all content related to their subscription. Likewise, a TV Provider section is also available in the Settings app on devices that run iOS 10.2 like the iPhone and the iPad, which is found below the portion for signing into social networks.
iOS 10.2 and tviOS 10.1 Single Sign-On feature is created to enable users to sign in once using cable credentials in accessing all live cable content offered through cable subscription, regardless if it is across several apps. Reports indicate that Apple aims to streamline and simplify the TV-watching experience on the Apple TV. But with the limited availability of the feature, the Single Sign-On will only be available to a very few Apple customer. However, experts believe that the tech giant is now working to allow more providers on board, MacRumors reported.
