New AppleTv dashboard setup

I really dislike the newest interface for the AppleTv. It requires a lot more clicks and requires looking and moving on the screen with more intent, when all you want is to get back to the Home Screen with your apps. Is there a way that I can choose the previous version?

You cannot revert back.

if you wish to return to the main screen with all the Apps, long press on the back button. On other remotes this might be the menu button. Either way it should be the top left one.

Did the instructions I provided not get you back to the main App screen? I just tested in the Apple tv app and it does work by pressing and holding the back button (or menu button on other remotes)


if you can’t read the side menu, you can try an Accessibility setting. I use this on my small bedroom tv. In settings- Accessibility- Hover Text - click to turn it ON. As you move over the menu, each tab is shown in large text at the top of the screen. It works within other apps as well.
