Here are the different most important features:

  • Redesigned design and navigation: it is now easier and more immediate to reach what you are looking for. With the Main Menu in the center of the screen, you can easily navigate to the most important features, such as your Profiles, the Library, the Home, the search page and much more. At the top you can discover popular content and watch trailers, at the bottom you can browse a large selection of films and series.
  • Screen ?? Home ?? redesigned: the Home screen has a new look and feel. You can find movie and TV show tips from subscription streaming services like Prime Video, plus tips on popular apps and games. Content suggestions appear in the line ?? Suggested for you ?? and will refine over time.

  • Enhanced Content Discovery: in the section ?? Find ?? it is possible to search, browse by filtering for example by Film or TV Series, or explore the recommended categories such as ?? Science fiction ?? or ?? Documentaries ??. Now you can also find the most suitable content for yourself through:
    • L ?? using the bar ?? Search ?? to perform custom searches.
    • Go to ?? Most Popular ?? on the home page to view popular content available for quick access.
    • Quickly browse your favorite apps with App Peeks to see which ones are available.
  • User Profiles: with user profiles, Fire TV offers a personalized experience for up to six family members. After setting up an Alexa voice profile, changing Fire TV profiles is as simple as saying ?? Alexa, switch to my profile ??.

  • Improved navigation with Alexa: Alexa allows you to use your voice to navigate the UI, just say ?? Alexa, go to Home ?? or ?? Alexa, go to the Library ??. It is also possible to say phrases like ?? Alexa, show me action movie ??. Also, coming early next year, Alexa Explore will provide a dedicated section where you will be able to discover all of Alexa’s features, view connected smart home devices, and more.
