Apple releases periodic updates for all of its operating systems, and they're not always significant. The tvOS 18.2.1 update showed up in Apple's update tracker earlier Thursday but began rolling out around 6 p.m. Eastern.

The original tvOS 18.2 launched the Snoopy screensavers that change periodically, similar to the Snoopy Apple Watch face. The point update addresses an issue where data may not sync correctly across devices.

Apple's security update tracker doesn't list any known CVE entries associated with tvOS 18.2.1. There was also an iOS 18.2.1 released on January 6 with no known public-facing changes.

It is important to keep devices up to date with the latest releases, especially since Apple TV acts as the brains of users' HomeKit-enabled smart homes. Navigate to Settings -> System -> Software Updates to install tvOS 18.2.1 manually.
