- Google TV is seemingly working on new homescreen features for adults and kids.
- An APK teardown uncovered evidence of a new “Restricted Mode,” a kids’ profile watchlist, and more.
According to new uncovered details, Google TV could welcome a few additional changes to its homescreen. According to 9to5Google‘s APK teardown of the Google TV launcher version 1.0.4233, there’s evidence of three new features in the works.
The first is a “Restricted Mode,” which would “restrict out instant-playback content with mature themes,” according to the string found in Google TV’s launcher app. Notably, this mode would only affect free content, presumably trailers, and ad-backed movies and shows.
