Amazon is set to deliver a significant update to its Fire TV mobile app, enhancing the experience for UK users of the Fire TV Stick. The update will equip the app with new features, turning smartphones into a secondary screen. Users will now have the ability to search for content, organize watchlists, and initiate playback on their TV directly from their phones.
The app has undergone a complete redesign to match the upcoming Fire TV interface, scheduled for release later this year. The refreshed design aims to provide a more contemporary look while enhancing overall performance and speed.
Additionally, the app will continue to serve as a virtual remote, allowing users to control channel changes, navigate menus, and adjust volume through their mobile devices if the physical remote is unavailable.
Amazon has announced that the revamped Fire TV mobile app will begin rolling out in the UK starting today, with availability expanding to all users over the coming weeks. The company stated that the updated app introduces new features that will revolutionize the Fire TV experience, empowering users with advanced tools to enhance their entertainment beyond the TV screen.
Users can now seamlessly browse content, manage watchlists, and play titles on their TV screens with the updated app, featuring a refreshed design that mirrors the upcoming Fire TV interface.
