# Block the Apple TV App on Supervised iPhone and iPad Devices

Use an iOS/iPadOS Restrictions profile to hide the Apple TV app on supervised iPhone and iPad devices. The profile blocks the app by its bundle identifier, `com.apple.tv`.

## Create the Restrictions profile

- Once in the Filesets view, select New Mobile Fileset at the top and then select the Profile option.
- Name the profile in the General payload. Other settings in this area are optional.
- Find the Restrictions payload in the left pane for iOS.  
    Tip: Use the search feature at the top of the window to filter your payloads.
- Once you have found and selected your Restrictions payload for iOS, click the Configure button on the right pane to enable the payload for this profile.
- In the profile you will see three tabs across the top. Select the middle Apps tab.
- Scroll down to the section Restrict App Usage (supervised only) and from the drop down menu select "Don't Allow Some Apps".
- To create a new object, click the plus sign at the bottom left of the current pane that says:

- After you have double-clicked the new object, type in the following and then press enter/return to save the entry:  
    **com.apple.tv**

- Hit the Save button at the bottom right of the Profile Editor window to save your profile.  
    Please note: If you open this profile after it has been saved you will notice that the entry for **com.apple.tv** is displayed as "Apple TV" as seen below. You can use the same restriction for another app when you know its bundle identifier. For example, an entry for `com.apple.Home` is displayed as **Home** after the profile is saved.

Create a test Deployment for a small group of supervised devices. Confirm that Apple TV is unavailable before expanding the Deployment.
