How to access the Plex Experience Preview (Android mobile, iOS, tvOS)

[PlexInfo]

As mentioned in our blog announcement, we’re excited to share this Preview with you, our dedicated community. Please expect this preview of Plex to continue to evolve as we gather your input ahead of our early 2025 full release.

We recommend spending some time with the new app—a week or two, or even three—to fully settle in and see how it feels. We will be updating the preview ~weekly so be sure to check for updates on features and changes in our release notes forum topic.

Tip: Our new Plex Experience Preview apps can be installed alongside our existing, regular apps. That allows you to use both apps on the same device and not have to choose one over the other.
