Reliance Jio is making it easier for its subscribers to watch TV across multiple devices with the launch of the JioTV+ app on Android, Apple and other TVs powered by Amazon’s Fire OS. The app was previously only accessible via the Jio set-top box (STB) that came with Jio Fiber and Jio Air Fiber connections. The telecom operator has now announced that subscribers can now watch over 800 digital TV channels across multiple languages and genres through a single login using the JioTV+ app.

Not all Jio Fiber and Jio Air Fiber subscribers will have access to the new app. It will only be available to users subscribed to the following eligible plans:
- JioAirFiber: all plans
- JioFiber Postpaid: Rs. 599, Rs. 899 and above

According to Reliance Jio, the JioTV+ app is available for download on Android TV, Apple TV and Amazon Firestick TV. Support for LG OS-powered TVs will roll out soon.
However, owners of Samsung TVs that do not run on Android TV will not be able to use the app, as it is not available on Samsung’s operating system. Users without a smart TV will have to purchase an STB as an add-on to access it.
