Amazon is rolling out a significant update to its Fire TV mobile app for UK users of the Fire TV Stick. The update will enhance the app’s functionality, turning smartphones into a second screen. Users can now search for content, manage watchlists, and initiate playback on their TV directly from their phones.
The redesigned app aligns with the upcoming Fire TV interface, set to launch later this year. The new look aims to provide a modern user experience, with improved speed and performance. Additionally, the app serves as a virtual remote, allowing users to control channels, menus, and volume if the physical remote is misplaced.
Amazon has announced that the revamped Fire TV mobile app is beginning its rollout in the UK today, with availability expanding to all users over the next few weeks. The company stated that the update introduces new features to enhance the Fire TV experience, offering powerful tools to extend entertainment beyond the TV screen.
Users can now enjoy browsing content, managing watchlists, and playing titles on their TV through the updated app. The refreshed design mirrors the new Fire TV experience, providing a seamless and improved interaction with the Fire TV platform.
