Breaking Hotstar X - a major upgraded experience of Disney+ Hotstar

[Bapun]

Does Disney+ Hotstar rolled out the new UI to all Android users? I left beta version today and installed back normal. But I got the same new UI.

I have learned that it's a server-side rollout on select accounts. The apk or version hardly makes much difference.

Yes, it was a server side rollout. I got the new skin without a playstore update. But I thought it was limited to beta users as I was in their beta program then. Anyway its irritating to use without tabs and sections.

Can u share apk file

I don't know how to share. I got it through Play Store.

As per other members, it is server side change. you can try apk Download Data package from November 2nd.

if any issue in installation, install through Files by google app.

The thing is, they essentially made apk irrelevant now. They are basically sending what to render and design from backend dubbed as BFF architecture (Backend for Frontend). One of the reasons why they are able to make changes to the UI as they want..

Probably, one of the reasons why it's slightly sluggish in performing actions... Let's see when they officially launch.
