Prime Video implements a major upgrade to anyone using the streaming service’s app on an Apple TV, also known as one of the best streaming devices.
The new and improved Prime Video app will be available on all Apple TV devices globally, including the original Apple TV HD throughout the third generation of Apple TV 4K, which is the latest iteration of the streamer released in 2022.
It brings a host of improvements to Apple TV owners who are also subscribed to Prime Video, especially which makes the app faster and easier to navigate by introducing new features specific to the device.
As Prime Videos Message of the new app says, the updated version combines to Apple TV “The Best of Prime Video with Apple TV’s user interface to deliver customers an improved streaming experience”.
What’s new about Prime Video’s app on Apple TV?
Prime Video, also known as one of the best streaming services, has certainly been busy refining the app experience on Apple TV devices. The biggest improvements include faster responsiveness, an improved search function and new ways of scrubbing through content, but there is much more.
One of the biggest upgrades I’m eager to try is the new in-app search feature that is now automatically making suggestions on what you might want to look up based on your first few prompts. It sounds like it will match the predictable text feature you find on one of the best iPhones.
The upgraded search function also allows users to search for content using their voice via the SIRI remote. In fact, some of the best new upgrades to the Gearing features are exclusively for Apple TV devices, such as using the SIRI remote control for faster navigation control. Prime Video says it has made the gesture controls on the remote faster to help find one of the best prime video shows or best prime -video film more seamlessly. There are also new TouchPad movements, including the ability to quickly forward and rewind by simply swimming left or right on the remote control.
Perhaps most noteworthy, the new Prime Video app got a big boost on the image quality front. Amazon’s streaming service says the app now has higher resolution images everywhere, giving the app’s overall look and feeling a great improvement.
Prime Video says it has also added some new sound effects when you swing through the app, but we still don’t know how these sounds. On the visual front, we can also expect to see a new parallax effect when rolling up and down through the app, which essentially means that the background images appear to be moving at a different speed than the tiles in front of it.
Finally, Prime Video subscribers can also access Apple’s best accessibility features including voiceover to enable a screen reader, hover text to enlarge the text that appears on the screen, and bold text to make copy bolder and easier to see.
As long as you have automatic updates enabled on your Apple TV device settings, you can watch all of the above new Prime Video App features.
