Google TV gets design tweak that makes your favorite apps more accessible،
Google TV is at it again get a design change. Following the addition of new landing pages last year aimed at simplifying navigation, the “For You” screen now tackles the “Your Apps” row, introducing several updates to make navigation easier and your overall viewing experience more enjoyable.
Circular and modern app icons
The app icons on your Google TV are sporting a whole new look, with the old squares and rectangles gone and circular app icons replacing them. This change aims to give your home screen a more modern feel while making it easier to find your favorite apps.
Faster access to free TV channels
The update also adds a new shortcut that gives you direct access to free TV channels on Google TV. The platform added over 800 new fully integrated free channels last year, including hit TV shows, game shows, music channels, various entertainment shows and much more, all without the need for download additional apps or pay for a subscription.
You will now have another way to access these channels, without having to leave the “For You” section. A new shortcut to free channels will now be added to the “Your apps” row for your convenience.
Install more apps at a glance
Now that the app icons will be circular, they will take up less space. This allowed Google TV to increase the number of app icons visible in the “Your apps” row. Now you can quickly access more of your most used apps without unnecessary scrolling.
Personalize your app experience
You could always rearrange the order of your apps, however, the process wasn't exactly very user-friendly. Now, Google TV will have “Arrange” and “Add an app” buttons at the end of the “Your apps” row. This will allow you to take control of your app presentation by moving your favorites to the front and seamlessly discovering and installing new apps to enhance your entertainment setup.
These updates will be rolling out over the coming months, so keep an eye on your Google TV screen for the transformation. With a sleeker design, easier access to content, and better user control, Google TV continually improves by putting your entertainment experience first.
