The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 11 in iOS 13.3. Note that some of the TV shows in the TV app can be watched for free, but most will require a streaming subscription or a purchase. Step 1: Open the TV app on your iPhone. Step 2: Choose the TV Shows option at the top of the screen. Alternatively you could select the Library or Search tabs at the bottom of the screen if you prefer to find TV shows that way. Step 3: Browse for a TV show to watch and select it. Step 4: Scroll to the How to Watch section to see what your options are for watching the show. If you already have access to the show, either because you have purchased it or it is available through one of your connected streaming apps, then you could select one of the episodes higher up in the “Season” section of the screen instead.

Assuming that you have already installed at least one of those apps and are signed in with your account, then the section below will show you how to connect that app to the iPhone TV app.
