Amazon Prime Video
About this version
The Android app updates regularly, though the changes users actually notice, such as ad formats, tier prompts, and interface reshuffles, tend to roll out server-side across all versions at once. Amazon has been iterating on the app's navigation and its advertising machinery more visibly than on playback features in recent cycles.
What recent updates focused on
- Buildout of the advertising tier, including new ad formats and shoppable elements
- Interface redesigns aimed at separating included content from paid rentals and channels
- Expanded live sport coverage and the accompanying event-streaming infrastructure
Our update advice
Auto-update is the sensible default; there is no advantage to holding back versions since pricing and ad changes happen on Amazon's side regardless. After major updates, recheck your profile PIN and download quality settings, which have been known to need reconfirming.
The authoritative source for the current version number, changelog, and
requirements is the official Google Play listing
