How to Switch To The New Roku Home Screen on Roku TVs & Roku Players
Key Points:
- Roku has launched an opt-in option allowing users to manually switch to its redesigned home screen ahead of the automatic rollout, accessible via the Settings menu on eligible devices.
- The new interface offers enhanced personalization, faster content discovery, and features like expanded "Top Picks for You," customizable Quick Access shortcuts, and genre-based hubs called Destinations.
- Once users switch to the new home screen, the change is permanent with no built-in way to revert, though some customization options exist to adjust the layout and recommendations.
- The rollout is currently staggered across devices in the U.S., with international availability expected in the coming months; Roku encourages users to update their devices and check settings regularly to access the update early.
- This update reflects Roku’s effort to modernize the platform while maintaining user choice, as it continues to expand its user base beyond 100 million households.
