Apple TV rentals only show in the library of iPhone, not iPad

I have rented Apple TV movies on my iPad. On my iPad, they only show in the ”watch next” section, not in the library, and cannot be downloaded. However, they show up on my iPhone’s Apple TV library where they can be dowloaded.


What is wrong with my iPad? Why don’t the rented movies show in the Library? Why can’t I download them?

Rented titles should show up on the library on iPad. The sidebar should have an option for Rented, if you have currently rented titles on the Apple ID account for that device. The title should also be accessible to play by other methods, e.g. through Search.


You can download rented titles onto one device, not two. If you downloaded a rented title on your iPhone, then it is not available for download on your iPad. To download on your iPad, delete the file on your iPhone first.
