Alongside the developer previews for iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and macOS Monterey, Apple also rolled out the developer preview for its tvOS 15. While this update is available for the developers, general users like you and me can also download the developer preview and enjoy the latest build. However, it is worth noting that this build would be unstable since it is a beta.

Word of caution: We strongly recommend staying away from developer previews as a general user. We advise you to use the public betas with caution. If it is your primary device, wait for the final release.

If you are already on previous tvOS beta, you can head to System > Software Updates and download away. On the other hand, if you are new to this and you want to install tvOS 15 developer preview, here’s what you need to do.
