Can you use the Apple TV app on a compatible smart tv ( if you have an Apple TV subscription ) to view your photos and videos?
Can a smart tv using the Apple + tv app be used similarly to the Apple TV device ?
iPhone 11, iOS 13

No. The TV App on 3rd party devices only offers access to the iTunes Store content, Apple Tv+ subscription, and a few embedded channels.
However, you may be able to Airplay photos and videos from an iOS device or a Mac computer to it.

If your TV has the Apple TV app, it is very likely it has the Airplay 2 option.
Thanks you two both urquhart and Phil
very much appreciated!
Thank you ! I did hope the airplay function on the iPhone was not limited to use with an Apple TV device. However my tv may not have airplay -2 option I can enable. I’ll see what I can do now that I know what to look for.
Apple has a list of AirPlay-enabled TV models. Other models wouldn’t have this capability built-in.
