Mid Wednesday, SlingTV announced that it has updated its iOS app with new features and enhancements and ask all customers to update to the new app as soon as possible.

The updates include:

· Launch Into Live: When opening the Sling TV app on Apple TV, users will now launch into the last channel they were watching instead of navigating through “My TV.” This allows Slingers to get to their preferred programming more quickly, without any additional clicks. The Sling TV guide will appear over the launched channel, so users can easily switch between channels.

· Browse While Watching: Apple TV users will also have the ability to browse other content on Sling while their current channel plays in the background. Viewers will see a half-screen guide, while still being able to view and hear the current channel.

The update can be obtained by opening the software update feature on the respective device.

Web site The Verge is reporting that Disney+ has reported that the online service has passed the 10 Million Milestone within the first 24 hours of it being online.

Disney+ surpassed 10 million subscribers in its first day, the company announced today.

Disney’s announcement comes after Apptopia announced that the Disney+ has been downloaded more than 3.2 million times. That’s despite tech problems that affected the country throughout the day.

Disney also confirmed that “there are no plans to release Disney+ subscriber data outside of The Walt Disney Company’s quarterly earnings calls.” The next time we’ll hear about subscriber numbers will be in 2020.
