"Now it will be easier for Android users to watch Apple TV content on their TV with the addition of Google Cast support. However, even after this update, Google Cast is only an option on the Android version of Apple TV, not the iOS version. Likewise, the Android version still doesn't support AirPlay. The addition of Google Cast adds a core feature that's been missing from the Android version of Apple's streaming app since it launched earlier this year."
"It also arrives just a couple of weeks after Netflix dropped casting support from phones to most smart TVs, forcing people to stream through the display's built-in apps. If you're not seeing an option to use Google Cast on your Android device, make sure you have the Apple TV app fully updated to version 2.2."
"You should see the cast button in the top right corner of your screen, next to the mute button on the "play" screen for shows and movies, and in the pause overlay on currently playing content."
Google Cast support has been added to the Apple TV app for Android, enabling Android users to cast Apple TV content to compatible TVs. Google Cast is available only on the Android app; the iOS app does not gain Cast support. The Android app also still lacks AirPlay capability. The Cast addition restores a core missing feature since the app's launch and arrives soon after Netflix removed phone-to-TV casting to most smart TVs, increasing reliance on built-in TV apps. Users must update the Apple TV app to version 2.2 to access the cast button on the play screen and pause overlay.
