Whenever I open my Apple TV app on my phone it takes me straight to Library and it doesn’t allow me to do anything else and it tells me “no videos’ your synced videos will appear here”

The TV app on iPhone (or iPad) needs internet access, to show anything other than the local library.

  • Through Wi-Fi, the TV app should have regular internet access.
  • On cellular, the TV app would need extra permission to use cellular data. Settings﹥Cellular﹥[scroll down to apps list] TV app﹥
