The new artwork draws you in, while the shuffle feature keeps the content fresh, preventing that dreaded “already seen this” moment.
A Word About the Photo & Music Apps
While the main Plex app trimmed out photo and music functions, the company’s worthiest cousins – Plex Photos and Plexamp – have taken the baton. Those of you managing colorful albums or echoing your favorite tracks will find dedicated spaces that cater to their specific needs.
Bottom Line
Short on time? Long on time‑keeping? Plex’s revamped app offers a snappy, organized hub for your visuals and vids, letting you dive straight into entertainment. The dedicated photo and music apps stand by to handle the rest, so you can keep the media experience smooth and straight‑forward.
