Amazon’s Fire TV Stick users in the UK are in for a notable upgrade soon. Amazon has revealed a significant enhancement to its Fire TV mobile app, introducing a variety of new functions. Previously, the app primarily served as a channel changer, but that is about to change.
Following the update, the app will essentially turn a smartphone into a secondary screen. Users will have the capability to search for content, manage watchlists, and begin watching shows or movies on their TV directly from their phone.
The app has undergone a complete redesign to match the upcoming Fire TV interface, set to be launched on screens later this year. The updated appearance is designed to offer a contemporary look while enhancing performance and speed.
Additionally, the app can still function as a virtual remote control, providing full control if the physical remote is misplaced. Users can easily switch channels, navigate menus, and adjust volume using their mobile device.
According to Amazon, the revamped Fire TV mobile app is starting its rollout in the UK today, with availability expanding to all users in the next few weeks.
In a statement, Amazon highlighted that the redesigned app will revolutionize the user experience with new features. While the app has been relied upon by many as a backup remote, the latest version introduces powerful tools that extend entertainment beyond the TV screen.
The updated app now enables users to browse content, manage watchlists, and play titles on their TV, all presented in a refreshed design aligning with the new Fire TV experience.
