Amazon Fire TV Stick owners should take note of an important deadline set by Amazon regarding software support and security updates. The company has outlined a timeline for software support, promising to provide software security updates for at least four years from the date of purchase. Additionally, Amazon stated they may continue to offer software security updates beyond that initial period.

For owners wondering about the deadline for guaranteed software patches, Amazon has revealed that most Fire TV Stick models will receive updates until December 31, 2030. However, the exception is the Fire TV Stick 4K (1st Generation), which could see its last update on December 31, 2029.

Amazon has provided a detailed timeline for software support of various Fire TV Stick models, with most models slated to be supported until December 31, 2030. It’s important to note that while these dates indicate the end of software support, it does not mean the devices will become obsolete. Amazon emphasizes that these dates are guidelines for owners to consider upgrading to newer models when necessary.

To determine the specific Fire TV Stick model you own, navigate to Settings > My Fire TV > About on your device. This section will display the device name and generation. Amazon advises users to be aware that the update period does not guarantee the longevity of the device beyond the specified support dates.
