TikTok launches on Fire TV in North America
TikTok is now available on Amazon Fire TV devices in the US and Canada.
The app will have full functionality with Fire TV’s voice remote, including compatibility of the smart assistant Alexa.
The expansion to North America comes four months after TikTok launched an app on Fire TV in the UK, France and Germany. Unlike that existing app on Fire TV, which limited viewing to a curated selection of videos, this new app is effectively a mirror of the short-form video app’s mobile counterpart.
Amazon has also confirmed that TikTok will also launch in the future on Ech Show devices.
This is the latest expansion for TikTok into the living room, and comes after the app launched on Samsung Smart TVs and Android TVs in Europe. The app will also come to LG smart TVs in the UK, France and Germany.
