With the 16.2 update the tv shows I’ve downloaded on the tv app will no longer constantly play back to back… it cuts off after a few episodes and you have to tap the play next. Is that here to stay? I like the continuously play function.
I appreciate the response, but unfortunately it was not helpful. I have downloaded 16.3 and restarted my iPad, but it seems like it’s a new feature with the tv app, like the Netflix thing where it says “are you still watching” after a few episodes in a row. Now the tv app will not play continuously like it did before the 16.2 update. Now after several episodes, it will not automatically play the next episode - you have to tap “play next” and then it will play the next several episodes in a row. Does that make sense?

Understood Andee3DLB,
If you want to watch a long string of content, you can set up Apple TV Up Next. This way there's a queue of shows that it will continue through. Per Explore Watch Now in the Apple TV app - Apple Support:
