Your Fire TV stick needs regular updates to keep your device secure and provide it with the latest firmware. Thankfully, the team at Amazon made the process simple for us. You will need an internet connection for this update to work, and be sure your device is connected before proceeding.
Next open My Fire TV. Older models may label this option as Device instead. Open whichever selection is available on your device.
From here, you should have the option to Install System Update. If your Firestick device has no updates available for install, it will say Check for Updates instead. Select whichever option you have to ensure the device is up to date.
The update will install automatically. You may need to wait a few minutes for the installation to complete. Once everything is finished, the Fire Stick device will reboot. Congratulations! Your Fire TV Stick is up to date.
