Facebook will soon be available on the Apple TV for the first time, the social network confirmed today. As rumored, the upcoming Apple TV app will focus on video playback with personalization features and launch soon.
Facebook’s video app was first reported as in development earlier this month, and Facebook made the news official today in a blog post outlining upcoming video features.
Included in Facebook’s other video-focused news is auto-play sound on videos which is coming to everyone shortly. The feature sounds like it could be a pain, but Facebook does outline how to disable the new default when it rolls out:
Improved vertical video playback is also coming as well as picture-in-picture playback within the Facebook app. Facebook says Android users will be able to experience PIP even when Facebook is closed, but the announcement does not mention iPad support where iOS also supports PIP.
