Roku launches video streaming iOS update

Streaming set-top box firm Roku has updated its iOS app to let users stream videos they’ve taken with their mobile device direct to their TV for the first time. 

The new feature adds to the Play on Roku feature that the firm launched last year that already lets users stream photos and music from mobile to TV via their Roku box.

Roku said the update is supported by version 5.1 of the Roku player firmware and that Android support is “coming soon” for selected devices.
