Reliance Jio launches websites for JioCinema and JioTV

Reliance Jio has created a digital revolution in India after the launch of a free unlimited 4G network. This attracted users to surf videos from their mobile on-the-go.

Mobile internet users increased ten folds in just a few months along with the sharp rise in sales of 4G mobile handsets. This is taken the media and entertainment industry to new heights.

Reliance Jio provided a bunch of entertainment apps within the MyJio bundle. JioTV and JioCinema are the two most popular video streaming apps. As these apps are mobile-centric, and so users were restricted to mobile and couldn't access them on bigger screens. The only alternative to this was to emulate the mobile device on the computer, but it is too technical oriented and not easy for non-technical users. So bingo to Jio users to know that the web version of these apps is now available !!!

Reliance Jio made these web versions available silently without much marketing and so users are still not aware of this provision.

To use these websites, you have to log in with your valid Jio ID and password. The interface of these websites is identical to the apps. These websites can be accessed using WiFi or any other network. So now with your mobile hotspot, you can not just access the internet on a bigger screen but also connect to the web version of JioTV and JioCinema.
