Overview
- Starting with tvOS 26.2, Apple TV displays a profile selection screen each time it wakes from sleep.
- Users can disable the prompt by opening Settings, selecting Profiles and Accounts, and toggling off Choose Profile on Wake.
- After the toggle is off, the device goes straight to the Home Screen and continues with the last active user.
- Turning off the prompt does not delete profiles or their watch history and recommendations.
- MacRumors published the how-to guide, which was republished by MacMegasite and reinforced by coverage from iPhone in Canada.
