An update to the DirecTV Now live TV app is today adding support for the TV app on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Users will now be able to easily search and access shows, as well as keep track of your viewing history within the TV app.
AT&T announced the news through an official blog post on its website.
DirecTV Now will also integrate with Siri search, helping users more easily discover what is available on the service through its on-demand library as well as live TV content.
Lastly, the company is finally adding support for Apple’s Single Sign-On, which allows users to sign in through the Settings app on iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV and instantly be logged in through all compatible video applications. Ironically, AT&T makes a jab at the feature being old fashion despite the company being far from the first joining the herd.
