Instagram Arrives on Apple TV in Malaysia with Reels and Live Video

Instagram Reels displayed on Apple TV

Instagram has brought its television viewing experience to Apple TV, with the app now listed in Malaysia’s App Store. Users with a compatible Apple TV device can watch Reels and other video content on a larger screen.

The Malaysian listing identifies Instagram, Inc. as the developer and specifies tvOS 26.0 or later. That software requirement is the first thing to check before looking for the app on an existing device.

A viewing experience for the living room

The television app focuses on watching Instagram content, including Reels, longer videos and live broadcasts. Viewers can discover creators and continue watching across devices, bringing a service usually associated with a phone into the living room.

The larger display could suit shared viewing, particularly when watching a creator’s videos or following a live stream. However, the TV experience should not be assumed to include every phone feature: the announcement does not establish full camera, editing or messaging functionality on Apple TV.

What Malaysian users need

This is an app for an Apple TV device running tvOS, available through its App Store. It is distinct from the Apple TV streaming app found on other television brands, so having that streaming app alone does not mean a TV can install Instagram.

The listing is free to download and includes in-app purchases. Malaysian users can check the local App Store listing for current compatibility and account-related details before installing it.
