Amazon recently released an important update for Fire TV devices that significantly improves the user experience, especially if you bounce between different streaming services and tend to lose track.
After the latest update, content from other streaming providers will also be listed in the watchlist and in the continue watching areas alongside the usual Amazon Prime stuff. If you start watching something from another platform, or add a film or series to your watchlist on another platform, all of that will also appear in the Fire TV overview (provided the content has been started on your Fire TV).
Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Paramount, RTL, and WOW are among those included in the shared watchlist. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be possible to organize the list manually as it’s always sorted chronologically according to the most recently added content.
In addition to the cross-platform merged watchlist, the rewatch area has also been changed to show films and series that you’ve started on other platforms. However, only Disney+, Apple TV+, and Arte are currently integrated here. It remains to be seen whether other services will be integrated in the future.
To get the new watchlist and other features, you need to update your Fire TV device to Fire OS 6. To do this, go to My Fire TV in the settings and then Info. Select Check for system update. After installation, all changes should appear automatically.
