Along with what Sieghard said, you can airplay anything you want from your phone to the Apple TV. You can also use Screen Mirroring to have the iPhone screen on your TV, handy for low-vision users wanting to see their photographs more clearly. Depending on the TV, you can download lots of apps. Here is a snipit from an Apple support page followed by the link: Browse or search the App Store Open the App Store App Store on Apple TV.
In the menu bar, swipe to any of the following categories: Discover: Browse a great selection of apps chosen by the App Store. Apps: Browse apps by category. Games: Browse games in the App Store. Arcade: Browse games available in Apple Arcade, an ad-free subscription-based gaming service. See Find games in Apple Arcade. Purchased: See the apps you’ve purchased in the App Store—including any apps purchased on other iOS or iPadOS devices that have a custom Apple TV version of the app, as well as purchases by Family Sharing members. Search button Search: Enter a search term to find apps by name. Use Siri to find apps You can use Siri to dictate while using Search or at any time to find apps on Apple TV. Do one of the following: In the Search screen of the App Store App Store, highlight the text entry field, press and hold the Siri button Siri button on the Siri Remote, and speak. For more information, see Use Siri dictation on Apple TV. >From anywhere else on Apple TV, press and hold the Siri button Siri button on >the Siri Remote, and speak. You can search for apps by name, developer, or category. Ask Siri. Say something like: “Find Crossy Road” “Find weather apps” “What are some new sports apps?” “Find apps by Apple” Note: If you get movie and TV results instead of apps, try including “app” at the end of your Siri request: “Find Crossy Road app.” https://support.apple.com/guide/tv/find-apps-atvb5a7dd799/tvos Richard "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying.

You do of course have the YouTube app and for things like Facebook if there are concerts you want to listen to, then that is what Airplay would be for, just play the concert on your iPhone and Airplay it to your Apple TV, you will find this in control centre. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Tom Cramer Sent: Monday, November 30, 2020 5:20 PM To: viphone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Apple TV and apps Hi there, So now that I am playing with the Apple TV, I wonder about apps for it. For instance, am I able to do things like email, texting and other things like Facebook or Twitter? I stream Facebook live concerts and it would be cool to have them coming through the Apple TV which is hooked up to my home entertainment system.
