Amazon is rolling out a significant update to its Fire TV mobile app, offering UK users of the Fire TV Stick a valuable free upgrade. This update will transform smartphones into a second screen, allowing users to search for content, organize watchlists, and start playing shows or movies on their TV directly from their phones. The redesigned app aligns with the upcoming Fire TV interface, set to launch later this year, providing a more modern look and enhancing performance and speed.
Additionally, the app serves as a virtual remote, enabling users to control their Fire TV even if the physical remote is misplaced. The updated Fire TV mobile app is being released in the UK starting today, with availability expanding to all customers in the following weeks. Amazon emphasizes that the revamped app introduces new features to enhance the Fire TV experience, offering powerful tools to extend entertainment beyond the TV screen.
Users can now browse content, manage watchlists, and play titles on their TV through the refreshed app design that mirrors the new Fire TV experience.
