Frndly TV, the family-friendly streaming service known for its affordable access to over 40 live and on-demand channels, announced today the rollout of two highly anticipated features for its Apple TV and iPad applications. The updates, available immediately, introduce a custom guide order option for Apple TV users and a picture-in-picture (PiP) feature for iPad users, enhancing the platform’s flexibility and user experience.
The custom guide order feature for Apple TV allows subscribers to personalize their channel lineup, tailoring the live TV guide to their preferences. Previously, Frndly TV’s channel guide followed a fixed order, but now users can rearrange channels to prioritize their favorites, such as Hallmark Channel, Great American Family, or INSP, for quicker access. This feature is particularly valuable for households with diverse viewing habits, enabling each user to create a guide that reflects their go-to networks.
Meanwhile, iPad users can now take advantage of the new picture-in-picture feature, which allows them to watch Frndly TV shows and movies in a floating window while multitasking on their device. Whether browsing social media, checking emails, or exploring other apps, subscribers can keep their favorite programs playing in a resizable, movable window. This aligns with Apple’s broader support for PiP on iPadOS, a feature already popular with streaming giants like Netflix and Hulu.
The PiP feature is particularly timely as consumers increasingly seek flexible viewing options. By enabling seamless multitasking, Frndly TV ensures its iPad users can integrate entertainment into their busy lives. To activate PiP, users simply start a video in the Frndly TV app and tap the PiP icon or swipe up to minimize the video into a floating window, which can be repositioned to any corner of the screen.
These updates to Frndly TV are apart of it improving its platform while maintaining its budget-friendly pricing, starting at $6.99 per month. With no long-term contracts and a focus on wholesome content, the service continues to attract viewers seeking an alternative to pricier streaming platforms. The addition of these features also positions Frndly TV to compete more robustly with other streaming apps on Apple devices, where user experience enhancements like PiP and customizable interfaces are becoming standard expectations.
Frndly TV’s latest updates are now live for all Apple TV and iPad users with the most recent app version. Subscribers are encouraged to update their apps to explore these new features and enjoy a more personalized and versatile streaming experience.
