So, whether you’re dealing with a software issue or wrestling with bad connectivity, your first move should be to check for updates on your Fire TV. Why? Your device could be riddled with bugs that often cause these issues. Amazon regularly releases minor updates specifically designed to fix these bugs automatically. But if you don’t have automatic updates turned on, here’s how to run updates manually.
-
Go to the home screen by hitting the “Home” button on your Fire TV remote.
-
Look for and tap the “Gear” icon in the far-right corner of your screen.
-
Tap on “My Fire TV.”
-
Next, go to “About.”
-
Select the “Check for Updates” option.
If there’s an update waiting, go ahead and tap “Install Update.” Once the update is done, you can verify that your Fire TV is running the latest version by checking for updates once more. If you get a message saying your Fire TV is up to date, you’re good to go.
