Using apple tv on non apple device

Hi there.

I entered my apple id on apple tv app on the Samsung smart tv we have at home.

Im not sure entering my apple Id on the apple tv app on the TV, does the other data of my phone gets available on tv or not? ( eg. photos, texts etc.)

because checking the connected devices part on my phone, Samsung Tv comes to the list my apple id is used in.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

login to the appletv app only give access to appletv+ and depending on the version of the app the media one has bought in the itunes store in terms of movies and tv series, it does not add all the data from any other device you may own connected to the same appleID

the appletv app is just an app


it's an app that is one of many apps one can install on appletv boxor iphones or ipads and so forth


it does not support app itself it does not turn a smart tv into an appletv box or iphone


apps on the tv are sandboxed which mean whatever access the appletv app has does not provide anything to the smart tv itself or other apps installed on it

Thank you very much for your response. Then neither my iCloud nor iTunes won't be shared on Tv right? We can install apps on the smart Samsung Tv, if I install the same apps I have on my phone, my data won't be shown on tv as my apple id is entered on TV regarding my phone shows the Tv as one of the devices connected to my apple ID, right?
