Apple TV adds built-in sign language interpretation feature

Apple announced that Apple TV will offer Sign Language Interpretation as a toggleable accessibility setting, starting Friday with the documentary 'Being Heumann' and extending to 'F1' with ASL and BSL support. The feature embeds a human interpreter in the corner of the screen rather than offering a separate Deaf-specific version, and is shipping with iOS 27.2, with more titles like 'Way of the Warrior Kid' and 'Greyhound' planned later this year.
