This fifth interim update to tvOS 16 follows along with other Apple device updates, such as iOS 16.5. In version 16.5, Apple may add some improvements, although we do not have very high expectations. We expect the final version of tvOS 16.5 around the summer.

About testing betas
When testing betas you can often run into problems. First of all, not all features are usually available immediately, but will be added and expanded over time during the test period. You may also experience crashes or some apps may not work properly yet. So keep this in mind if you decide to test an iOS update. It is therefore not recommended to install a beta on a device that you use every day, because there may still be many problems in the beta.

This article will be republished with new betas, with we update the newly added features. In addition, responses can also be cleaned up more strictly than you are used to from us. This way we prevent you from having to work your way through dozens of now outdated comments from a few weeks ago.
