Android Devices cannot play Purchased iTunes Videos

Since iTunes Store supported the purchase of movies, TV shows and music videos, the number of people buying or renting videos on iTunes has risen every year. Indeed, purchasing iTunes videos is one of the most convenient ways for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV users. In fact, iTunes Store is now more than just a "Store", it is more like a one-stop entertainment service system.

Because of the price and functional requirements, users of Android devices have been increasing in recent years, and many of them are users of both Apple and Android. For music lovers, they are lucky. Apple introduced the Apple Music app, which is compatible with Android. And this has caused a lot of misunderstandings for users who want to watch iTunes movies, TV shows and other videos on Android devices, people thought that they could now watch iTunes videos on their Android phones or tablets just like they can listen to Apple Music songs on both Apple and Android devices.

M4V Videos to Android

The truth is negative. Unlike Apple Music, Apple doesn't seem to have the intention of allowing purchased iTunes movies to be played on Android devices. Users still can't watch iTunes movies, TV shows and music videos on their Android devices. It's because Apple used a kind of encryption technology to encrypt all the purchased videos of iTunes Store, allowing only authorized devices to play the content. In other words, most of the purchased video files of iTunes are in encrypted M4V format, and Android devices are not allowed to play such kind of video files.

Some users will choose to use some regular video converters to try to make M4V videos playable with Android devices, but they all end up failing. So, is it an impossible thing to enjoy purchased iTunes videos on Android devices? Not likely.
