Amazon is rolling out a significant update to its Fire TV mobile app, bringing a host of new features to UK owners of the Fire TV Stick. The revamped app will turn smartphones into a second screen, allowing users to explore and find content, manage watchlists, and initiate playback on their TV directly from their phone.
The updated app has undergone a complete redesign to match the upcoming Fire TV interface that will be launched on screens later this year. The fresh look aims to provide a more contemporary user experience while enhancing performance and speed.
Additionally, the app continues to serve as a virtual remote control, enabling users to navigate channels, menus, and volume adjustments from their mobile device if the physical remote is misplaced.
Amazon has announced that the redesigned Fire TV mobile app will start its rollout in the UK today, gradually becoming available to all users in the following weeks. The company highlighted that the latest version introduces new functionalities that revolutionize the Fire TV experience, offering enhanced tools for entertainment beyond the TV screen.
Users can now browse content, manage watchlists, and play titles on their TV through the updated app, all presented in a refreshed design that mirrors the new Fire TV interface.
