This platform combines content from both streaming services, allowing users to access their favorite shows and movies under a single brand.<\/p>\n<p>The introduction of JioHotstar marks a major shift in the video streaming industry, leaving many users wondering about the fate of their existing subscriptions and payments. To clear up any confusion, we\u2019re here to provide insights into the merger, what it means for your current plans, and the new subscription options available.<\/p>\n<p>JioHotstar App Goes Live: What It Means for Existing Users<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re already subscribed to Disney+ Hotstar or JioCinema in India, your current subscription will remain active until it expires. For instance, if your Hotstar plan is valid until April 2025, nothing changes. However, JioCinema subscribers on the \u20b929 per month plan receive a three-month extension, which we have independently confirmed across multiple accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysnews.in\/daily-updates\/presidents-rule-in-manipur-after-biren-singhs-exit\/\">President\u2019s Rule in Manipur after Biren Singh\u2019s exit.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The revamped platform introduces new plans, starting at \u20b9149 for three months for a mobile-only subscription with ads, limited to a single device. Alternatively, users can opt for the \u20b9499 plan, offering the same features but valid for 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>JioHotstar App Now Available: What\u2019s in Store for New Users?<br \/>\nWith existing user queries addressed, let&#8217;s talk about new subscribers. The good news is that JioHotstar plans start at \u20b9149 for three months (mobile-only) for both new and existing users. The key difference is that while current subscribers can continue with their plans until expiry, new users will need to purchase a plan immediately to access the service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JioHotstar Merger Live: What It Means for Existing Users JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar have officially merged in India, launching the new
