Let us shed some light on it and find out
Amazon Fire TV
Amazon Fire TV disclosed the user interface, which aims to uplift the navigation experience for its users. For instance, rather than deciphering the science behind the menu bar continually, now consumers will be able to access options like Home, and My stuff, via icon-based symbols such as a magnifying glass, a house, etc. Such is done to streamline the viewer’s Experience or help them navigate its functioning in the best possible ways.
In addition, the newly intended modification in Amazon’s Fire TV arose because of the constant reminders or complaints filed by the users, who could not live its seamless experience. In light of this, Amazon made recurring changes in terms of rebuilding features, simplifying the navigation, and refining the old functions.
New alterations in Amazon Fire TV
Furthermore, along with the new changes, Amazon has renamed the library tab with the option called; My Stuff. The same tab occupies and consists of watch lists, videos, purchased content, etc. Besides this, Amazon has been able to put together options like Search and find by making it a single destination for users. In the case of the former, the functioning remains the same (where users click on the search option). And in the latter, the find tab has been singled out into two rows. The top row comprises categories like Movies, TV shows, apps, and kids and family, followed by the other row incorporating recommendations.
Symbols substituting the text
With the ever-evolving changes in the Amazon Fire TV, viewers might witness a transition from Text-based categories being replaced by icons. For example, the presence of the find tab can be hinted at by looking out the symbol of a magnifying glass Icon. Also, the Home and live tabs are replaced by symbols now.
“Last year, we completed a major overhaul of the Fire TV experience, and since then, we have continued to make refinements to make Fire TV the most engaging and personalized streaming experience,” Joshua Danovitz, director, Fire TV Experience, said in a statement. “The recent updates bring Search and My Stuff to the top of our Homepage so customers can quickly find content and access their watchlists, rentals, and purchases.”
Hence, the revamping of the home screen is one of the latest updates added to the Amazon Fire TV to improve the navigation. Thus, they are even trying to add Alexa to voice remotes.
