Disney taking over Hulu seemed like a sure thing. In early November, it became official: The Walt Disney Company was shelling out $8.6 billion to buy out Comcast’s stake in Hulu. A month later, they kicked off a beta test, giving subscribers a taste of what was to come. Now, after all the anticipation, the day has finally arrived: Hulu is fully integrated into Disney+, giving everyone in the US access to the much-anticipated combined experience.

Hulu is a popular streaming service that offers a range of on-demand content. It provides current-season TV episodes shortly after they air, making it a preferred choice for viewers who want up-to-date content. But how do you share one account with multiple household members? Profiles offer a convenient way to personalize the streaming experience for each person in your home.

T-Mobile's standard Netflix benefit could start including ads this month

Hulu's ad-supported plan will also be offered to T-Mobile customers

By 

T-Mobile has rapidly risen to one of the most-used phone service carriers today, partially because of its aggressive mergers and expansions over the last decade-and-a-half. Historically, it offered lower-priced plans not only for people simply to switch over from other carriers like Verizon and AT&T, but it stayed relatively inexpensive for current customers with lots of benefits and deals through T Life (the clunky rebrand of T-Mobile Tuesdays app). One of T-Mobile’s long-time user benefits is access to Netflix On Us, which gives plan-holders access to a “free” Netflix account that has been devoid of advertisements. That will not be the case anymore.

People have a lot of online video streaming options today, with the likes of Netflix, Prime Video, Peacock, and so on. The consolidated Disney streaming app, Disney+, however, has a few advantages over its rival offerings, mostly related to exclusive content. Last month, Disney acquired the remaining stake in Hulu from Comcast, with the media juggernaut later saying it would bring all of Hulu's content to the Disney+ app as part of a beta test in December. This plan is now coming to fruition as US subscribers of Hulu are now seeing its titles on the Disney+ app.

Hulu nerfs in-app sign-ups on Android

You can probably blame Google Play and the cut it takes

By 

Google is presently doubling down on its efforts to enforce its billing methods — and, thus, make developers fork over a fee if they want to make money with in-app purchases. A Google Play policy deadline that took effect in April — after an initial announcement in 2020 — is forcing developers to make in-app transactions through its own billing system. This change notably affected the Barnes & Noble and Amazon Audible apps, which have removed the ability to purchase new titles through Android phones. It looks like Hulu might be the next service to fall victim to this change, as any subscription-related charges will now need to be done through the website rather than the app.

Your Hulu plan is about to get more expensive

It's a $1 price hike for standard and ad-free, bundles and live TV remain the same

Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, streaming television services gotta get more expensive. So it goes with Hulu, the latest cord-cutting library of movies, TV shows, and original productions to get a little bit more expensive, and hope you won't notice. The price jump is scheduled for October 8th, after which most Hulu subscribers will be paying an extra dollar every month.

Listen up, streaming nerds: if you really want to make the best out of your low-cost, cord-cutting entertainment setup, you'll need to pour at least ten grand into an awesome home theater setup. Which won't help at all if your streaming service of choice doesn't actually support all of that eye-melting hi-fi tech. So what took y'all so long, Hulu?

Hulu's one of the few companies that remembers Android has widgets

Apple did not, in fact, invent them last year

Look, watching a never-ending stream of television episodes probably isn't great for you. But streaming services basically live on that behavior, so they're not gonna judge you for it. In fact, they'd like you to binge a little more. To that end, Hulu is adding a couple of widgets to its Android app.

There are plenty of TV shows with wonderful intros. But even the best ones will grate on you if you're watching your seventh episode on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Hulu realizes this, and has added a "skip intro" button to its interface on Android, as it's had on the web and at least some smart TV platforms for over a year.

Samsung really wants you to know that the Galaxy S21 Ultra has, in its opinion, the best camera you can buy on a smartphone today.

You have to meet with consumers on their level, and in 2021, what do ordinary people love more than an overabundance of streaming services? That's why Samsung is teaming up with Hulu to produce an original reality show called Exposure, in which competitors will be given photography challenges focused around shooting with — you guessed it — a Galaxy S21 Ultra.
