Following months of testing, Plex has started to roll out its redesigned mobile app to Android and iOS devices, and it will arrive to everyone within the next week. The new app comes with an updated navigation system that should make it easier to access different parts of the app and find content to watch, along with a dedicated tab for centralized media libraries.

It also has a button in the top-right corner of the screen for your Watchlist and more artwork across detail pages for shows and movies, as well as cast and crew profiles. In a post on the Plex forum, the company outlines a ton of improvements it has made to the app since the preview, including faster load times and scrolling, the addition of a sleep timer, and picture-in-picture support.

    Thank you for this list. We are aware of quite a few, but for reasons of backwards compatibility they’ve never been fixed. We’d definitely like to but doing so in a non-disruptive way is the hard part.

    Holy fuck what a reply.

      Yeah… ignoring potentially leaking peoples private videos for the sake of “backwards compatibility” is wild. No… When you find a critical flaw like that, you should be breaking compatibility purposefully in order to make people update to tooling/programs that support the new more secure functionality.
