What this scenario solves

Configure supported preferences and guest profiles on iPad and carry them to Apple TV through personal iCloud.

What you need

  • A compatible iPad running iPadOS 18 or later
  • Apple TV with the HomeDeck tvOS app
  • The owner’s personal iCloud account available on iPad and Apple TV

What to do

Configure the supported settings on iPad, then verify the result on every iPad and Apple TV that will use it.

  1. Use the same personal iCloud context where required, configure supported settings on iPad, wait for synchronization, and verify the result on Apple TV.
  2. Change one supported setting on iPad, wait for synchronization, and confirm the same result appears on Apple TV.
  3. Open the result on the listed device, test every visible control, and make sure people using the shared screen can see only what you intended.
