Fire TV Stick Update: How it works

The Fire TV Stick should actually update itself automatically and install new updates on its own when they are released. However, there may be some delays in the installation and you may have to run the update manually. To do this, open the settings of your Fire TV Stick and select "Device".

Update your Fire TV Stick

On Amazon's Fire TV Stick, new software versions are installed automatically. There may be some delays in this process, especially if the Fire TV Stick has not been connected to the Internet for a long time. If you have problems with your stick, you can check whether the latest version is available and, if necessary, download the update manually. All you need is the remote control of the Fire TV Stick and a stable Internet connection. All updates are free and can be downloaded at any time.

How to check if your stick has the latest version installed

1. Connect the Fire TV Stick to the Internet.
2. Open the settings.
3. Select the menu item "Device".
4. Click "Info".
5. Select "Software Version".
6. Prüfen Sie, ob die aktuelle Version auf Ihrem Stick installiert wurde.
