Apple TV missing Replay functionality

Why doesn’t Apple TV (a product made by the most innovative company in the world) have a Replay button? When my kids want to watch The Martial episode of The Mandalorian for the 500th time, I have to stop what I’m doing and manually rewind the episode because there is no UI for Replaying anything on Apple TV.

Is this about your kids watching Disney+ or about you watching Apple TV app content?


If this is about continuing where you paused in the Apple TV app, then know that watch progress is to be stored online as an account property. Please contact the Apple Support staff about why it isn’t working for you, and what they or you can do about it. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).


… manually rewind …

That brings back memories of VHS ;)

My Apple TV is built into my TV, so like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime it’s software based. And even if it was an external device like you say, I’m not asking it to “record” anything. I’m asking Apple to simple add a button that starts the video from the beginning instead of forcing a manual rewind. But thank you for the snark filled, unhelpful reply. It was a great use of your time.
