Amazon is set to provide UK users of the Fire TV Stick with an upcoming free upgrade through the Fire TV mobile app. This update introduces various new features, expanding the app’s functionality beyond channel changing. With this enhancement, the app now allows users to use their smartphones as a second screen to search for content, organize watchlists, and initiate playback on their TV directly from their mobile devices.
In addition to the expanded capabilities, the app has undergone a complete redesign to match the upcoming Fire TV interface, scheduled for release later this year. The new look aims to offer a more contemporary design while enhancing performance and speed.
Furthermore, users can utilize the app as a virtual remote if the physical remote is misplaced. They can seamlessly control channel selection, menu navigation, and volume adjustments from their smartphones.
Amazon has announced that the revamped Fire TV mobile app is being rolled out in the UK starting today, with availability expanding to all users in the following weeks. The company highlighted that the updated app brings new features to enhance the Fire TV experience, providing powerful tools to extend entertainment beyond the television screen.
With the latest version, users can now browse content, manage watchlists, and play titles on their TV, all within a refreshed design that aligns with the new Fire TV interface.
