If you have a phone or tablet with Android 6 (Marshmallow), then this update will be of interest to you. With the DroidBOX Share update included, you will now be able to use your handheld device to control the T8-S and T8-S Plus in more ways, with more devices.
Should your mobile device of choice happen to be Lollipop (Android 5) based, then you’ll find the update allows Screen Mirroring, and finally if iOS 9 powers your pocket slab of silicon, you could well be delighted that AirPlay (where apps support it) will function with the DroidBOX now.
If Google Cast (effectively turning your DroidBOX into a Chromecast device) grabs your attention, then proceed to the OTA Update instructions link below, as you can now case YouTube videos straight to your T8-S and T8-S Plus…
As well as a couple of little tweaks to the homescreen, you’ll find that there is no need to carry out a reset of the device after this update. Your applications and their settings will stay in place.
