How to Update Kodi on Firestick (2018)

If you're planning to update Kodi from a previous version, such as Leia (Kodi version 18) to Matrix (Kodi version 19), it's highly recommended that you uninstall your old version of Kodi before upgrading. This ensures that you get the latest features, functions, and security updates for your home theater app.

How to Get the Latest Version of Kodi on Amazon Firestick

Unfortunately, Kodi is not available in the Amazon App Store for Fire TV devices, so it must be installed using third-party tools and the official Kodi APK file. However, with a few simple steps, you can update Kodi on your Fire TV Stick.

Before we dive into the process, it's worth noting that we highly recommend using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service while streaming content through Kodi. This will encrypt all of your internet traffic and protect your online activity from being tracked by hackers or monitored by your ISP.

Why You Need a VPN for Kodi

Many Kodi users are unaware that their online activity can be easily monitored by their Internet Service Provider (ISP), government agencies, or hackers. By using a VPN, you can rest assured that your internet traffic is encrypted and routed through an intermediary server, making it impossible for anyone to decipher your online activity or identify your real IP address and location.

We recommend all Kodi users employ a VPN in order to protect themselves from the threats posed by Kodi addons, both official and unofficial. NordVPN is a popular choice among Kodi users, offering a fully-featured risk-free 30-day trial with no restrictions.
