The topic Disney announces three new Disney+ and Hulu app features is currently the subject of lively discussion — readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.
This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies’ decisions and competitors’ reactions can quickly change the picture.
Disney+ and Hulu are on a path toward merging, and to that end, Disney just announced three new features rolling out today for app users, plus another that’s coming soon.
The experience of accessing Hulu content in the Disney+ app is easier starting today.
That’s because Disney is launching new features as part of its ongoing integration of Hulu and Disney+.
Disney also says that once profiles are linked, titles watched in the Hulu app will continue syncing to the Disney+ app moving forward.
Additionally, Disney+ will soon start testing a ‘Live Guide’ feature that’s inspired by Hulu.
Finally, Disney confirms that some of the key Hulu integrations not yet in Disney+ will be coming later on:
Additional Hulu features, such as Live TV and add-ons, are still available in the Hulu app and will be coming to Disney+ at a later date.
Following these announcements, Disney told Variety that there are “no current plans to sunset the Hulu app.”
However, with these changes it’s starting to seem like an inevitability. And that’s especially true if the rumored Disney+ ‘super app’ ends up materializing.
