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.
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.
The new remote will be available from 14th April in the US, with an option to buy it separately, for those who want to upgrade their existing Fire TV remote. There's no news on when the remote will hit the UK but we'd expect a global rollout later in the year.
