How to Install & Watch Apple TV App on FireStick [2022]

In this guide, I will show you how to install Apple TV on FireStick and Fire TV devices.

Starting October 24, 2019, the popular Apple TV app is available on also very popular streaming device FireStick. This comes as great news for people like me who enjoyed streaming on FireStick but were dearly missing the Apple TV experience.

Apple TV app has a large library of content including Movies, Shows, and more. You can install Apple TV on Fire TV Stick from the Amazon Store and get access to all of it.

You will be required to sign-in with your Apple ID. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one. I have briefly touched upon signing in and creating the Apple ID later in this guide.

Apple TV app has a great-looking and intuitive interface for FireStick. The neat and clutter-free experience makes streaming an even better experience.

Apple TV app also gives you access to Apple TV+.

Attention FireStick Users

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party streaming apps on your Fire TV Stick, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so that your movie viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN which is the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 3 months free and save 49% on annual plan.

Here is why you must use a VPN all the time.
