- Over a year after Disney+ launched in South Africa, Hisense TVs now natively support Disney+.
- The brand notes that only current and future “internet connected” TVs will be able to install the Disney+ app.
- TVs manufactured at the Hisense Industrial Park in South Africa will have the Disney+ app installed by default.
The availability of Disney+ apps for smart tech locally has happened at a snail’s pace. Months after the service was launched, the app arrived for Xbox consoles and months after that an app arrived for PlayStation.
Continuing this lagging trend, Hisense has announced that Disney+ is finally available for its TVs as well as TVs running the VIDAA OS from Toshiba and other brands.
Unfortunately, not all Hisense TVs will have access to the app with the brand noting that only current “internet connected” smart TVs will have access to the app. Thankfully, Hisense has detailed all supported TVs which we’ve included below.

“We are excited, together with The Walt Disney Company, to bring Disney+ to Hisense customers. The addition of the vast library of high quality content from Disney+ will provide access to iconic entertainment through our high tech Smart TVs, for millions of our customers,” says president of Hisense South Africa, Vivi Liu.
The manufacturer notes that all new TVs coming out of the Hisense Industrial Park in South Africa will have Disney+ pre-installed so that customers can dive right into the service if they use it.
While we’re not the biggest fans of Disney+ it’s good to see the platform broadening support for the tech locals gravitate toward.
