Amazon is upgrading its Fire TV mobile app for UK users of the Fire TV Stick, offering new features and a revamped design. The update will turn smartphones into a second screen, allowing users to search for content, manage watchlists, and start playing shows on their TV from their phone. The app will also serve as a virtual remote, enabling users to control their Fire TV even if the physical remote is misplaced.
The redesigned app aligns with the upcoming Fire TV interface, set to launch later this year, providing a more modern look and enhanced performance. Amazon has announced that the rollout of the updated app begins in the UK today and will be available to all users in the following weeks.
According to Amazon, the new features introduced in the app aim to enhance the Fire TV experience, offering powerful tools for extended entertainment beyond the TV screen. Users can now seamlessly browse content, manage watchlists, and play titles on their TV through the refreshed app design that mirrors the upcoming Fire TV interface.
