Amazon is rolling out a significant update to its Fire TV mobile app for UK users of the Fire TV Stick. The revamped app will now offer enhanced features, turning smartphones into a second screen for managing watchlists, searching for content, and initiating playback on the TV directly from the phone.

The app has been redesigned to match the upcoming Fire TV interface, promising a more modern look and improved performance. Additionally, users can utilize the app as a virtual remote, enabling them to control channel selection, menu navigation, and volume adjustments if the physical remote is misplaced.

Amazon has announced that the redesigned Fire TV mobile app will be introduced in the UK starting today, with a gradual rollout to all customers in the following weeks. The company stated that the update introduces new tools to enhance the Fire TV experience, providing users with more ways to engage with entertainment beyond just the TV screen.

Users can now seamlessly browse content, manage watchlists, and play titles on their TV through the updated app, all while enjoying the refreshed design that aligns with the new Fire TV experience.
