The free, ad-supported streaming service is directing viewers to continue watching Freevee content on Prime Video. The notice stated: 'Prime Video is the new exclusive home for Freevee TV shows, movies and Live TV. 'The Freevee app will be accessible until August 2025. Continue watching your favorite Free Originals and our library of hit movies, shows, and live TV on Prime Video for free. "No subscription needed. Download Prime Video to get started and sign-in with your Amazon account.' The Move Was Expected The move doesn't come as a surprise, as Amazon confirmed back in November 2024 that it was sunsetting the service and integrating its content into Prime Video. Freevee content was already available through both apps and there had been murmurs earlier this year that the name could be axed after Prime introduced ads. Amazon said in a statement at the time that it had 'Decided to phase out Freevee branding. "There will be no change to the content available for Prime members, and a vast offering of free streaming content will still be accessible for non-Prime members. "Including select Originals from Amazon MGM Studios, a variety of licensed movies and series, and a broad library of FAST Channels — all available on Prime Video.' Amazon Prime cancels beloved drama despite show having two-season order and furious fans vow to boycott streamer Instead of operating two separate services, the company is consolidating its streaming efforts around Prime Video. The Freevee App Launched in 2019, the Freevee app is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria. It is the company's free alternative to Prime Video, with classic and original shows including Judy Justice and the reboot of Aussie soap Neighbours. Popular original series also include Emmy-nominated reality comedy show Jury Duty, and crime show Bosch: Legacy. These shows are accessible on Prime Video under the 'Watch for Free' section. The service started out life under the IMDb brand five years ago, before becoming Freevee in April 2022. Although the app and brand is disappearing, the shows and movies are not. Instead, they will live within Prime Video with a free label.

Amazon is shutting down Freevee this summer — but you can still stream for free on Prime Video
Amazon's free, ad-supported streaming service, Freevee, is officially coming to an end, and the shutdown date is fast approaching. After offering users access to thousands of movies and TV shows without a subscription, the Freevee app will be discontinued in August 2025. Earlier this summer, an in‑app notice began appearing for users, stating: 'Prime Video is the new exclusive home for Freevee TV shows, movies and live TV. The Freevee app will be accessible until August 2025. Continue watching your favorite free originals and our library of hit movies, shows, and live TV on Prime Video for free, no subscription needed.' This move marks a major shift in Amazon's streaming strategy, as the company begins to consolidate its offerings under the Prime Video umbrella. Amazon announced it was shutting down Freevee back in November 2024, citing a plan to streamline the viewing experience and bring all of its content into one unified app. In fact, Prime Video already offers a growing selection of ad-supported content available for free without a membership, and that free tier will continue even after Freevee is gone. So while one of the best free streaming services is going away, most of its content isn't. Amazon plans to migrate the majority of its Freevee programming directly into Prime Video, meaning viewers will still be able to enjoy free movies and TV shows, just from a new home. So, here's everything you need to know about Freevee's departure and how to access the same content after the shutdown. Amazon is shutting down Freevee as part of a strategic shift to simplify its streaming offerings. The company aims to create a more streamlined viewing experience by consolidating its free and paid content into one platform: Prime Video. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. An Amazon rep told Variety: 'We have built Prime Video into a first-stop entertainment destination where customers can personalize their viewing experience by streaming exclusive Prime member entertainment produced by Amazon MGM Studios, licensed movies and series, content from other services as an add-on subscription, live sports, blockbuster movies and series to rent or buy, FAST [free, ad-supported streaming TV] channels and the complete Amazon Freevee content offering.' They also added: 'To deliver a simpler viewing experience for customers, we have decided to phase out Freevee branding. There will be no change to the content available for Prime members, and a vast offering of free streaming content will still be accessible for non-Prime members, including select originals from Amazon MGM Studios, a variety of licensed movies and series, and a broad library of FAST channels — all available on Prime Video.' Another important reason for shutting down Freevee is to reduce brand confusion and redundancy. Since there was significant overlap between the content available on Freevee and Prime Video, maintaining two separate brands became unnecessary and potentially confusing for users. But, most importantly (and what the majority of users will be concerned about), free content will remain available to both Prime members and non-Prime users through Prime Video. Prime Video offers a variety of free content that anyone can watch, even without a Prime membership. To find this content, you can start by browsing the "watch for free" or 'free with ads' section on the Prime Video website or app. This area features a curated selection of ad-supported titles that you can stream at no cost. You can browse through the available movies and shows in this section, and when you select a title, it will play with occasional ads, similar to other free streaming services. No subscription or payment is required to enjoy these titles. By using the Prime Video app's free content section, you can keep enjoying a variety of entertainment without signing up or paying, especially important now that Amazon is moving Freevee's offerings into Prime Video.

Amazon's Freevee app gets an expiry date, but here's how to keep watching for free
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Amazon confirmed plans to sunset its free streaming service, Freevee, late last year. The company has now notified users that the Freevee app will be shut down in August 2025. Freevee's extensive library of movies, TV shows, and live TV will be available through Prime Video. After announcing plans to wind down its free video streaming service late last year, Amazon has now confirmed that the Freevee app will finally be shut down in August. But there's some good news for those who enjoy Freevee's vast library of TV shows, movies, and live TV. Amazon recently alerted users via an in-app notice that it will take the Freevee app offline in August 2025 (via TechCrunch). However, Freevee's extensive library of free, ad-supported content isn't going away. The notice adds that Prime Video is the 'new exclusive home' for Freevee content, and users can continue watching their 'favorite Freevee Originals, and our library of hit movies, shows, and live TV on Prime Video for free, no subscription needed.' The notice even includes a link to Prime Video and instructs users to download the app and sign in with their Amazon account to watch Freevee content, which is available within the app's 'Watch for Free' section. Since Freevee is available in the US, UK, Germany, and Austria, its library will likely be available on Prime Video only in these regions. It's not immediately clear whether Amazon intends to bring Freevee content to more locations. Will you download Prime Video to continue watching Freevee content, or switch to a different free streaming service like Pluto TV, Roku Channel, or Tubi? Let us know in the comments below. Got a tip?
