Rearrange your apps

If you want to rearrange the order of your apps on your Fire TV home screen, follow these steps:

  • Head to the full apps list
  • Select the app you want to move
  • Hit the menu button on the remote
  • Select Move or Move to front.

Choose top apps wisely

Scrolling through hundreds of TV shows and movies for something to watch takes long enough, let alone sifting through your apps too.

So, be sure when you're rearranging apps, you should put your top six favourites at the top for ease of access.

Remove or hide an app

If your Fire Stick's storage is full and you're experiencing some lag with the interface, follow these steps to delete some apps and free up some room:

  • Head to the full apps list
  • Tap the menu button
  • Select Uninstall

However, if there's an app you don't want others in your household using - such as children or your housemate with terrible taste in TV - you can also select Hide from Your Apps in this menu.

This will remove it from the list without uninstalling it.

The hiding trick is also useful for keeping Amazon apps that you can’t delete, such as Luna and Amazon Live Shopping, out of sight.
