Set Up Amazon Fire TV Apps

See Your Full App List: The top row of the Amazon Fire TV home screen shows only your six favorite apps. To see all of your installed Fire TV apps, scroll to the three squares on the right side of the top row and select “My Apps.”

Or, long-press your remote’s home button and select “Apps.” You can use this method from anywhere without having to return to the home screen first.

Rearrange Your Apps: To change the order of apps on your Fire TV home screen, go to your full app list, select the app you want to move, tap the menu button on your remote, and select “Move” or “Move to Front.”

Delete or Hide Apps: To delete a Fire TV app, go to your full app list, tap the menu button, and select “Uninstall.”

You can also select “Hide from your apps,” which removes it from your list without uninstalling it. This is also useful for hiding Amazon apps that can’t be deleted, such as Luna and Amazon Live Shopping.

Choose Top Apps Wisely: When rearranging apps, note that the six apps you put first get special status. They appear at the top of your home screen, and some even suggest content to watch as you scroll through them. This is a great way to get quick recommendations from your favorite video sources. (Not all apps support these “app preview” recommendations, but I found Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+ and Paramount+, HBO Max all worked well.)

Remotely install apps: For a faster way to install new apps, head to the Fire TV online app store on your computer, where you can browse, search, and install apps remotely. If you have multiple Fire devices, be sure to select your Fire TV from the “Deliver to” list before installing.

Create additional profiles: To switch profiles or add new ones, just click the profile icon on the far left of the toolbar. Each family member can then have their own favorite apps and personalized recommendations, and you can create kid-specific profiles with age-appropriate content and optional PINs.

Free up storage space: To see all your installed apps (whether they’re hidden in the main app list or not), scroll to the bottom of the app list and click “App Library,” then select “Installed on this TV.” This will show you everything taking up space, so you can click the menu button and uninstall the ones you’re no longer using.
