Apple TV has been quite popular among the Apple community. Some of the most popular series in the past few years have been aired on this platform. But what happens if you want to watch credits to find the name of an actor from your favorite show?
In this article, you’ll find out whether Apple has this feature activated and you can also learn more about Apple TV Plus.
How to Watch the Credits on Apple TV Plus?
Maybe you want to watch the credits to find some information about the show you like. But you notice that Apple TV Plus simply switches to the next episode without showing them. This is Apple’s way of keeping you engaged by quickly starting a new episode.
Many users have been complaining about this issue across the Apple community forum and elsewhere on the internet. However, to this day, there still isn’t an option that lets you watch the episode until the very end – to see the credits.
A few years back, Netflix users managed to convince Netflix to let them watch the credits. At the end of each episode, you’ll now see a “Watch Credits” button next to the “Next Episode” one. If you watch Netflix on Apple TV, you could use this option.
One way that works, that some users have been reporting, is by pressing the menu button on your remote once the overlay with the next episode appears.

How Do I Get Apple TV Plus for Free?
There are a couple of ways you can watch Apple TV Plus for free. We’re going to cover all of them below.
One Year Free After Purchasing an Apple Device
Have you recently bought a new iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac? If so, you might be eligible to use Apple TV Plus for one year for free. Here are some terms and conditions that apply:
· Any new Apple device bought after the 10th of September 2019 is eligible. The device needs to be bought either from Apple directly or from an authorized reseller.
· You can’t combine this offer with other Apple TV+ offers (including free trials).
· You can share Apple TV+ with no more than five family members.
· Your device has to run on the latest iOS version.
· You have to claim the offer in the first three months after you set up your device. Just sign in using your Apple ID on the new device.
· You’ll have a one-year free trial, but you have to commit to their $4.99 per month subscription, which will start right after the one-year trial expires. If you cancel during the free year, you’ll lose access to your profile for the remainder of your trial.
Follow the steps below to activate your free one-year trial with Apple TV Plus:
1. Launch the TV app from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, or iPod Touch. Note that they have to be running on the latest version.

Seven-Day Free Trial
If your device is not eligible for a one-year trial, you can still get a seven-day free Apple TV Plus trial. This might be your best option if you want to test out the service.
However, Apple will ask you to insert your credit card details and charge you after the trial period ends. If you only want to go with the trial, set a reminder on its last day so you can cancel on time.

1. Launch the TV app from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, or iPod Touch. Note that they have to run on the latest version.
2. Click on any Apple original show.

There are a couple of options to use this service for free (mentioned above). After your free trial, the subscription plan will cost you $4.99 per month.
What Channels Do You Get With Apple TV?

Enjoying Apple TV
Apple has been doing a pretty good job so far with its original series and movie collection. However, there are some downsides. Some users find it quite annoying not being able to watch the credits at the end of a series. Hopefully, Apple will follow the steps of other giant streaming services that allow users to do this now.
