Using Apple TV+ through the Apple TV box.

Can’t watch Apple TV+ thru my Apple TV box. I can open the Apple TV+ app from my Apple box. It sends a code to my iPhone, but I never get a prompt from the Apple TV to enter the code preventing me from watching Apple TV+ through my Apple box. Any suggestions?

Are you certain about the Apple TV (4th generation)?

It is a known limitation of the Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) to not have a prompt for the verification code. The workaround for those models is here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250420575


Apple TV (4th generation or later) should be smart/modern enough to prompt for the verification code.

Do verify its software version, and update if needed.
