We’re excited to announce that Infuse 8.2 is available today, bringing a host of powerful new features to iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, and Vision!
Multiple user profiles
The ability to use separate profiles is now available on Apple TV! With Infuse, each family member can enjoy a personalized setup—complete with custom home screen layouts, network shares, watched history, ratings, parental controls, and Trakt accounts. Profiles can also be linked to individual iCloud accounts, making it easier than ever to keep things in sync across devices. Learn more
Note: tvOS 26 (pictured below), arriving this fall, introduces a streamlined experience with an optional profile selection prompt that appears whenever Apple TV wakes from sleep. Manual profile switching, available in tvOS 18, will remain supported in tvOS 26 as well.
Stream from iCloud Drive
In addition to browsing and playing files downloaded from iCloud, Infuse now also supports streaming directly from iCloud—allowing you to play videos without using local storage on your device. Of course, the option to download files for offline playback is still available.
Note: Apple currently does not allow browsing iCloud Drive files on Apple TV. However, direct links to iCloud Drive files can be added to the ‘Links’ section in Infuse, and these links will be accessible on other devices—including Apple TV. Learn more
Metacritic ratings
Alongside TMDB and Trakt, Infuse now offers ratings from Metacritic for movies and TV shows. This rating (Metascore) is a single score that represents the critical consensus curated from a diverse group of highly respected critics. This added perspective can offer helpful insight when choosing the perfect title for movie night. Metacritic ratings are available for all PRO users.
Enhanced AI video upscaling
An expanded set of AI upscaling features is now available, including limited support for current Apple TV 4K models. Infuse leverages Apple’s hardware to deliver sharper, clearer images when playing lower-resolution videos on larger screens. Capabilities vary depending on the device, with the full suite of features requiring an A16 chip or newer. As a result, Apple TV users can expect even greater improvements with the next-generation model—potentially arriving as soon as this year.
Other features, improvements, and fixes
A handful of additional features, improvements, and fixes are included so be sure to check out the full list of what’s new in 8.2.
More good things coming soon for ‘26’
We’re hard at work integrating many of the exciting new features coming this fall in iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, macOS, and visionOS 26—and we can’t wait to share these updates with you soon. As always, Infuse Pro subscribers will receive all updates automatically at no additional cost.
