Amazon has announced that a major new software update is rolling out to Fire TV devices right now. The update brings a new home screen and support for six different individual users. There’s also a new Alexa voice remote with shortcuts to Disney Plus and Netflix.
The overhaul was originally announced in September but was limited to newer Fire TV devices. Now, those with a Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen), Fire TV Cube (1st and 2nd Gen), and Fire TV (3rd Gen) will get access to the upgrade.
Amazon says the “new Fire TV experience” makes it make it easier to access your favourite apps and that the new Find page now allows you to search by genre and other categories. There are also cooking classes with Food Network Kitchen and daily fitness sessions with Peleton.
Member of a large household? Separate user profiles now provide each person with recommendations for what to watch. And if you set up a voice profile, Alexa will recognise your voice automatically and switch to your individual profile. Nice.
