What's New in Plex

2026.13.0

July 6, 2026

NEW: - Episodes on the season details screen now show a download status indicator. FIXES: - Deeplinks containing a locale segment showed a "Something's not right" screen instead of opening the destination. - Deeplinks no longer get dropped when the app launches into onboarding, sign-in, or switch-user before the main navigator mounts. - Filtering downloads by movies or shows with nothing downloaded could leave you without a way to clear the filter. - Fixed a crash that could occur when following certain links or deep links the app couldn't open. - Improved scrolling performance for screens with lots of rows. - Invalid click.plex.tv links no longer get stuck in the app and now open in the browser again. - Library details screens would not close when the item was deleted. - Live TV: Offline channels could show loading skeleton in some situations. - Opening the app from a marketing link or QR code now takes you straight to the linked movie or show. - Player: Paused playback could resume on its own when the screensaver appeared or the device went idle. - Player: Quickly stepping through a seek could leave the controls showing a paused state. - Player: Seek preview could briefly show thumbnails from the previously played title. - Player: Subtitles could turn on automatically when watching Live OTA channels. - Swiping right on change artwork rows caused list to snap to start.

Improved Downloads

The offline downloads feature improvements are appreciated. It lost a lot of functionality with the big app overhaul and seems to be improving.

Playlist grid view gone?

It seems like playlists used to be in grid mode and now it is list which is really hard to view.

Would give it 5 stars but can’t

Okay so the app on Apple TV is GREAT but when I’m watching on my iPhone this thing has a MULTITUDE of problems. The only reason you’re getting 2 stars is because the Apple TV app works perfect. So here’s the problem.

When I go Picture in Picture to do other stuff on my phone like answer emails check Facebook or just play a game the app works fine. Commercials have an issue starting but whatever. THEN when I revert back to full screen while watching a show or movie the app freezes and then throws me into another 180 second commercial block. I wouldn’t get annoyed by that if I just didn’t get out of an ad block 3 seconds prior.

Now the other issue if I look passed the additional 180 ad block when the show comes back on it’s totally black with sound playing. Going backwards doesn’t work to fix it. I literally have to leave the episode and start over. And guess what I get when I do that? That’s right ANOTHER 180 second ad block. But at least the picture issue is fixed after that happens. So FIX the picture and picture issue. It shouldn’t have an issue playing from a smaller screen to a full screen.

I’m sure if I paid for the app these issues wouldn’t be an issue but I pay for WAY too many services as it is so I don’t mind watching commercials especially for shows I haven’t seen which Plex only has, The Arc if anyone is curious. Please fix this issue so I can give you 5 stars.

Used to be great but

Latest version of the app is constantly failing to load my content, and now it complains my server is out of date - yet it's running the latest version. Yet mysteriously it has no problem playing junky free content and ads.
