Amazon has unveiled a significant update to its Fire TV mobile app, bringing a host of new features to UK users of the Fire TV Stick in the upcoming weeks. Previously focused on channel changing, the app now acts as a second screen, allowing users to explore and find content, manage watchlists, and initiate playback on their TV directly from their smartphone.
The app has undergone a complete redesign to match the upcoming Fire TV interface scheduled for release later this year. The fresh appearance aims to offer a more contemporary look while enhancing performance and speed.
Additionally, the app retains its functionality as a virtual remote, enabling users to control channel selection, menu navigation, and volume adjustments from their phone if the physical remote is misplaced.
Amazon has announced that the revamped Fire TV mobile app will begin its rollout in the UK today, with availability expanding to all users over the following weeks. The updated version introduces new tools that extend the entertainment experience beyond the TV screen, enhancing user interaction with Fire TV.
Users can now seamlessly browse content, manage watchlists, and play titles on their TV through the updated app, featuring a revamped design aligned with the upcoming Fire TV interface.
