• Plex is beta-testing a brand new version of its mobile app.
• Along with a new look, the updated design will allow all Plex apps for all platforms to share a similar codebase.
• Plex has instructions for how to try this on your Android or iOS device now, ahead of an early 2025 rollout.

Over the years, Plex has expanded from a niche service for folks with the time and resources to build their own media servers to a way for anyone to discover, find, stream, and rate all manners of free content. Unfortunately, the Plex interface people have used on their smartphones has remained clunky and relatively unchanged for years. Well, that changes now.

Today, Plex is fundamentally redesigning its mobile app for both Android and iOS devices. It’s better organized, bolder, more image-heavy, and feels more modern overall. Most importantly, though, it represents a shift in how Plex is approaching its entire ecosystem of apps across the myriad platforms it supports.
