The update can be manually installed by heading to the Settings app, selecting System, and clicking on Software Updates. If enabled, it can also be installed automatically on an Apple TV or Apple TV 4K.
During the tvOS 14.7 beta cycle, no major new features were discovered. That suggests that the update is focused on under-the-hood improvements and changes.
The previous tvOS 14.6 update included support for the new Apple TV 4K and Siri remote. Before that, tvOS 14.5 introduced support for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X controllers and a new Color Balance tool.
Updates to the tvOS 14 platform will likely die down as Apple shifts its focus to tvOS 15. Although it didn't get a mention during WWDC 21, tvOS 15 will introduce a number of new updates focused on cross-platform integration.
Some of the new features coming to tvOS 15 include support for watching content with others via SharePlay, a new Share with You feature for TV shows or movies recommended via Messages, and a For All of you page that recommends titles an entire household will enjoy.
