The company Amazon has started rolling out a major update for the Amazon Fire TV app on the Android system. The new version introduces a refreshed interface and features that are 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.
App as the Control Center for Fire TV
One of the most important changes is that the app is intended to serve as a companion for Fire TV on the television. Users can browse content from their phones and add it to their watch list even before turning on the TV. This makes it easier to plan what to watch and then launch selected movies or shows directly on the television. The app has also received the feature of a fully functional remote control. If the TV or Fire TV device is logged into the same Amazon account, the phone can replace the traditional remote. This allows, among other things, for: controlling the Fire TV menu, launching movies and shows, adding content to the watch list, and quickly searching for new productions.
New Interface Look
Changes in the app are part of a larger refresh of the Fire TV platform. The interface has been simplified and has received new typography and a clearer menu. Amazon also promises better content recommendations to help quickly find new movies and series.
The new Fire TV interface has already appeared on devices such as:
Fire TV Stick 4K Max
Fire TV Stick 4K Plus
Fire TV Omni Mini-LED series TVs
Amazon promises that other devices will receive updates in the coming months this spring.
The new version of the Amazon Fire TV app aims to make using the platform simpler and more convenient. With the ability to browse content, manage the watch list, and control the TV from a smartphone, users can enjoy Fire TV even more easily. The update is starting to roll out to users worldwide and will gradually become available on more devices.
