Does this mean I don't have to see that screen with all the streaming apps anymore? Can I start Netflix directly? That would be awesome.

Just tried and I can't move individual apps like Netflix in folders. It seems they are forever trapped in the TV&movie app. Shame.

Pro tip press R1 go to your library, hover over the Netflix or whatever media app you want, press options "start application". There now you've avoided the stupid TV & Movies app

I don't know what some of you were on about, the TV & Movies app is well over a year old and move all the media apps into it, you could never move them out before. It has been TV & Movie for a long time. This update was just a stability update.

Strange, I have been on the beta and didn't notice that feature.

I did notice that you can over over the media apps shortcut and ADD THAT to a folder, but not individual media apps.

People reported in the beta you could move them IIRC.
What you could do in the beta was move the TV & Movies icon into a folder, not the individual apps from inside it like Netflix or Hulu. I don't know if that's a new feature or not, but I was in the beta and tried both once the rumor spread. All I know is that moving the TV & Movies icon into a folder is completely useless.

Update seems fine for me so far.

Was really hoping I'd be able to move the individual media apps like everyone else here. I don't want to start up the TV&Movies thing since I'm convinced it slows down the UI (it seems to load up a web app much like the Store, and that always makes the system chug for me). I've been going to Library and starting them there (partially out of spite) but even that can be slow since you have to hit start on the app a few times before the UI catches up and realizes what you're doing.

(Good god I don't care how many teraflops the PS5 has, just give me a quick, lagless UI)

For anyone with a PS Camera, another workaround is to just start the apps via voice, as it's quicker than going to Library. Well, assuming the PS4 actually realizes what you're asking. I swear at it a lot.

Just got finished reading the reviews on this, a shame really, will have no problem waiting a year to download it on PC at a bargain, I suppose.

Sony has to know how annoying we find these meaningless "stability" features. They do nothing for us. We want more features.

After i went to the store on my ps4 i always press the 'log out of ps4' and then i login again. It always makes my UI quick again.
