Apple TV users can disable shared access to their devices by going to the “Settings” app and selecting “Shared Access.” From here, users can choose whether they want to allow others to view their content, have only a limited number of people be able to view their content, or have all users have access.
All the movies or shows your contacts share in Messages appear in the Shared with You section on Apple TV. If that section annoys you for taking up space, here’s how to disable it on Apple TV.
What Is the “Shared With You” Section on Apple TV?
With iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, shared movies and TV shows over Messages syncs them to your Apple TV if you use the same iCloud account. If you’re running tvOS 15 or higher, the Apple TV interface displays that shared content in the Shared with You section as recommendations. If you don’t see it, you may need to update your Apple TV.
Even if you interact with those tiles in the section, they don’t go away. However, there’s an easy way to turn off the Shared with You section on Apple TV.
