So, what does this mean for those of us who were already using JioCinema or Disney+ Hotstar? Basically, you won’t be using those apps separately anymore. If you try to go to the old JioCinema or Disney+ Hotstar app or website, you’ll automatically be sent over to JioHotstar.3 No more switching back and forth – everything’s in one place now.
If you had the Disney+ Hotstar app on your phone, the change should be pretty seamless. You’ll probably just need to update the app, and you’ll see a new look and feel reflecting the JioHotstar branding. When you open it, boom! You’re in the JioHotstar world, ready to explore all the shows, movies, and sports.
JioCinema app users will have a similar experience. If you still have the app on your phone, you’ll probably see a message telling you to switch over to JioHotstar. If you try to watch anything on the old app, it’ll just redirect you to the same content on JioHotstar.4
Looking ahead, JioHotstar is promising even more for its users. Whether you’re a sports fanatic or a movie buff who loves Disney or Warner Bros. films, the platform is supposed to keep getting better. It’s basically bringing together the best of both worlds, making it way easier to find and watch what you want without having to jump between different apps.
So, yeah, JioHotstar is the new reality. JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar as standalone services are a thing of the past. But with all your favorite content now conveniently located in one place, JioHotstar is aiming to be the go-to platform for anyone who loves entertainment and sports.
