Fire TV Stick owners need not worry about manually searching for the software update, as the device automatically checks for and downloads new operating system updates when connected to the internet. To verify if an update is available, users can navigate to “Settings” on the device, then select “My Fire TV” and “About.” If an update is ready, the option to “Check for System Update” will appear for installation.
During the update process, it is essential to maintain a stable internet connection and close all background apps, as the device will require a restart. Users are advised not to unplug the device while the update is being downloaded. While software updates often bring enhancements to features and performance, security patches should be treated with urgency to safeguard against potential hacking risks.
