finding a movie I have rented on my Apple TV plus on my TV

I have no library tab and can't find movies I have rented. The time is running out to watch the movies. Hiow do I get the library tab?

Unfortunately, there are two editions of the app, and one of them doesn’t have a Store or Library. The full app has ‘everything’, and the specialized app has no Store, Library, or third party channels. See here for a bit more details of the differences between editions:

Get the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app on your smart TV or streaming device - Apple Support

It used to be more elaborate about differences; read here: Archived version of the support document.


If you have the Apple TV+ app on your device, then that device is not suitable for accessing rented movies.

If you have the Apple TV app (no “+” in the app name), then that app on that device would have a Store and Library to select rented movie from.

The choice is linked to the model of the device. Unfortunately not direct user choice.


On what device with the Apple TV+ app were you trying to watch the rented movie?

Do you have alternatives available? All the ways to watch in the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app - Apple Support
