Amazon’s new interface for the Firestick and Fire TV is gradually being introduced to devices worldwide. Notably, this includes older Firestick and Fire TV models.
If you have any of the devices listed below, anticipate the update to arrive in the coming days:
- Firestick 4K
- 3rd Gen Fire TV
- Fire TV Cube (all versions)
The new interface has been launched for the latest Fire TV Stick Lite and the 3rd Gen Fire TV Stick.
Amazon is rolling out a new interface for the Firestick and Fire TV.
For users with Fire TV Smart TVs or the 2nd Gen Fire TV Stick, the update is expected to be available in the near future. However, the 1st Gen Fire TV Stick and Fire TV are the only models that won’t be getting the updated interface.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This update won’t install automatically. It requires manual installation on your device.

The New Interface on Your Firestick
Even after the new interface is installed, the update process may not be entirely complete on your device. We’ve observed that an additional minor update might be necessary to fully finalize everything.
To wrap up the software update for the new Firestick interface, simply follow these steps:
1. Once your device has restarted, go ahead and click “Got It”
2. If you spot a notification (an orange dot) on the Settings Gear icon, click it to access Settings
3. Select “Notifications.”
4. From the options, choose “Forced App Updater.”
5. Finally, click “Dismiss.”
6. Return. You’re all set!
Go to Settings, then open My Fire TV.
Next, you’ll want to click About.
From there, go ahead and choose Install Update.
Now, just wait for the updates to finish and enjoy. It’s that simple.
