Based on a new job listing, it appears that Apple is preparing to build an Apple TV+ app for Android smartphones and tablets.

Spotted by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the job listing says Apple is looking for someone to work on “development of fun new features, and to help build an application used by millions to watch and discover tv and sport.” Apple declined to comment about the listing and its implications.

Of course, the implication here is that Apple is planning to make the TV+ app available on Android smartphones and tablets.

Android powers over 3 billion devices globally, which would immediately double the Apple TV+ reach when combined with the 2.2 billion devices that Apple has in the world. The ramifications of that on Apple's business are hard to know because Apple has never declared how many subscribers TV+ has or its revenue, though the service has provided many memorable shows and movies like Coda, Severance and Ted Lasso.

The job listing is very recent, so it’s unclear when an Android Apple TV+ app will actually be available. And who knows how long Apple may have already been working on a potential Android app.
