Latest Features and Updates in Popular TV Streaming Apps

In the ever-evolving landscape of TV streaming, several popular apps have recently introduced new features and updates to enhance user experience. Here’s a look at some of the latest developments in Amazon Prime Video and Peacock.

Amazon Prime Video has rolled out several enhancements in its latest version. Users can now download videos to watch offline, a feature particularly useful for commuters or those with limited internet access. The app also supports Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, allowing users to continue watching their favorite shows or live events while interacting with other apps or websites. Additionally, the app offers multi-user profiles, enabling personalized entertainment experiences for different household members. Exclusive X-Ray access, powered by IMDb, provides behind-the-scenes insights into movies and TV shows.

Peacock, the streaming service from NBCUniversal, has also made significant updates. The service offers two main plans: Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus. The Premium plan includes access to over 80,000 hours of TV shows, movies, and sports, as well as current NBC and Bravo shows. The Premium Plus plan adds ad-free viewing (with some exceptions due to streaming rights), the ability to download select titles for offline viewing, and access to the local NBC channel live 24/7. Peacock also supports streaming on multiple devices, including TV models, computers, mobile devices, and game consoles.

Both apps are designed to be user-friendly and accessible across a variety of devices. Amazon Prime Video is available on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and other compatible devices, while Peacock supports a wide range of devices including Android TV, Apple TV, Roku, and more. These updates reflect the ongoing competition in the streaming market to provide the best possible viewing experience for subscribers.
