Apple Adds Multiple New Screensavers in tvOS 18.2 Beta, Including Snoopy and Movies

Currently, the screensavers that come with Apple TV primarily consist of aerial views and memories, with the option for users to download more types, such as underwater worlds, from the settings. However, the overall selection provided by Apple has been somewhat limited and monotonous.

In the newly released tvOS 18.2 beta, Apple has finally introduced a wider variety of screensavers, including the classic animated character Snoopy, as well as others related to TV and movies, music, and soundscapes.

After setting Snoopy as the screensaver, Apple TV will display various wallpapers of Snoopy after being idle for a period. The TV and movies category will showcase posters including character wallpapers; music and soundscapes will display as shown in the last image.

Apple has stated on its website that these new options will be launched at the end of 2024, aligning with the expected release schedule of tvOS 18.2 in December 2024. Users will be able to utilize these new options in the settings after the official release of tvOS 18.2.

It's also important to note that screensavers, including Snoopy, are only supported on the second-generation Apple TV 4K and later models. Therefore, users with older versions of Apple TV may not be able to see these new options.
