The company Amazon has begun rolling out a major update to the Amazon Fire TV app on the Android system. The new version introduces a refreshed interface and features designed to make using the streaming platform easier. The update is available as a free upgrade and is set to change the way users interact with Fire TV on smartphones.
The app as a control centre for Fire TV
One of the most important changes is that the app is to serve as a companion for Fire TV on the television. Users can browse content from their phone and add it to their watchlist even before turning on the television. This makes it easier to plan what to watch and then launch selected films or series directly on the television. The app has also received the feature of a fully functional remote control. If the television or Fire TV device is logged into the same Amazon account, the phone can replace the traditional remote. This allows for, among other things: controlling the Fire TV menu, launching films and series, adding content to the watch list, and quickly searching for new productions.
New Interface Design
Changes in the application are part of a larger refresh of the Fire TV platform. The interface has been simplified and has received new typography along with a clearer menu. Amazon also promises better content recommendations to help users quickly find new films and series.
The new Fire TV interface has already appeared on devices such as:
Fire TV Stick 4K Max
Fire TV Stick 4K Plus
televisions from the Fire TV Omni Mini-LED series
Amazon announces that other devices will receive the update in the coming months this spring.
The new version of the Amazon Fire TV application is designed to make using the platform simpler and more convenient. With the ability to browse content, manage the watch list, and control the television from a smartphone, users can enjoy Fire TV even more easily. The update is beginning to reach users worldwide and will gradually be available on additional devices.
