Apple has announced a new accessibility feature for its Apple TV app that will allow deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers to watch selected movies with sign language interpretation.

The feature aims to make entertainment more accessible and inclusive.

According to an Apple TV press release ,the new feature will be available from November 13, alongside the global streaming premiere of ‘Being Heumann’, a film based on the true story of disability rights activist Judy Heumann.

Initially, American Sign Language  and British Sign Language interpretation will be available for ‘Being Heumann’ and the movie ‘F1’.

Other Apple Original titles, including ‘Way of the Warrior Kid’ and ‘Greyhound’, will receive the feature later this year.

Apple also plans to add sign language interpretation to more original titles. Viewers can enable the feature through the Apple TV app settings.

Movies and shows that support sign language interpretation will display a special Sign Language icon. Users can also search for supported content by typing phrases such as ‘with ASL’.

Apple said the feature has been designed and tested by members of the deaf community and native sign language users. The interpretation has been carefully created to match the emotions and meaning of each story.

The feature will be supported on devices running iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS 27.2, tvOS 27.2 and visionOS 27.2 or later. It will also work on supported third-party devices running the latest Apple TV app software.
