Not necessarily. To share Apple TV+ with Family Sharing, each group member needs compatible device. That can be a smart TV with the Apple TV app. Or a TV-connect streaming device (e.g. Apple TV box, Roku, Fire TV, Xbox, PlayStation, Nvidia Shield, ‘Chromecast with Google TV’, or select cable boxes that support apps). Or a computer mobile device with browser. Or iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch.
