Amazon To Shut Down Freevee App In August

Amazon will discontinue its free streaming service Freevee in August, consolidating all content under Prime Video, according to CNBC. Freevee launched in 2019 under IMDb, offering ad-supported programming through its app. After the shutdown, users will be able to stream Freevee content for free on Prime Video without needing a Prime membership. Amazon said the move is aimed at simplifying the viewing experience, a strategy it signaled last year. The transition comes months after the company introduced ads on Prime Video and began offering an ad-free option for an additional fee.
