OTT platforms have become a major means of entertainment for people, since the merger of Disney, Reliance, and Viacom18 was completed last year, there was talk that the JioHotstar app would be launched soon for users. Your wait is now over because you will get to see the content of Jio Cinema and Disney Plus Hotstar on a single app and the name of this app is Jio Hotstar.

The name of Disney Plus Hotstar has been updated in Google Play Store and Apple App Store, now you will see this app by the name Jio Hotstar. One thing to note here is that those who were running the Jio Cinema app will now also be redirected to the Jio Hotstar app. In simple language, this means that as soon as you click on any video in the Jio Cinema app, you will reach the Jio Hotstar app directly.

Content is free on JioHotstar.

When we tried to play premium content in Jio Hotstar without buying a subscription, the video played. One thing is clear from this in the beginning, you will be able to watch premium content for free on Jio Hotstar.

The company is planning to revamp its subscription model but according to ET's report, the company will offer free access to most of its content for a few hours every month, except Hollywood movies.

JioStar's Chief Executive Officer Kiran Mani says that JioHotstar invites everyone to watch their favorite content without a subscription. We want users to enjoy everything from cricket matches to popular TV series on JioHotstar.

It is not clear yet whether all the content will be free or the facility of free content is being provided only for a limited time. But if media reports are to be believed, users will have to watch ads in free content but if you buy a subscription, you will get high-resolution video quality with an ad-free experience.
