What’s new
Version 1.20.0 · Updated October 22, 2026
• Watch Together comes to iPhone and iPad: start a session or join a friend's, as a group or in affinity mode, perfectly in sync with the web, the computer and other phones, even when one of you watches at reduced quality. The chat keeps up: emoji, reactions and GIFs at will, and "… is typing" (server 1.31.1) • A session stays on the device that joined it: your other devices no longer start on their own; they only offer to join here • Nobody skips the intro before everyone is there • "Who's watching?" at launch when the family has several profiles, with the PIN if the profile has one; at every launch, unless you tick "Don't ask at startup" on this device. Then, just once: set a PIN, pick the home rows, choose your photo among 36 characters or your own • Family invitations wait for you at launch, to accept or decline in one tap • Settings reorganized: Account, Playback and appearance, TVs and devices, Offline, Notifications, Help. Each setting says whether it follows your account on all your devices or stays on this device; the finest settings stay in the computer app • Your rights everywhere: you only see what you are allowed to watch and do, and a change made on the computer applies at once • Notifications redesigned: a center that opens full screen, and a notification read or swiped away here is read everywhere • Keep offline, even with the app closed: preparing and transferring carry on by themselves, locked phone included (server 1.31.1), with live tracking and its percentage on the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island, then "Ready to watch". Offline belongs to the account signed in on the iPhone • Redesigned player: settings, subtitles and episodes in clear Apple-style panels, time and battery with the controls, picture-in-picture button, AirPlay, and "Still watching?" that pauses like on the computer • An animated opening: the logo assembles, presses play and opens the app for you • Clear errors: every problem says its cause and what you can do • Larger subtitles by default, new "For you" header, calmer buttons
