Kodi 18.0 Leia is finally out and available for download on Amazon devices, Android, iOS, Windows PC, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi. The new Kodi version had been in development for the last two years, and with the major code refactoring and changes to its Graphical User Interface (GUI), Kodi 18 Leia is expected to greatly enhance the experience we\u2019ve so far gotten from its predecessor Kodi 17.6 Krypton.<\/p>\n
As you would expect, there are numerous changes that have been made to improve our streaming and the general Kodi experience.<\/p>\n
ISP and government snooping is on the rise, and many Kodi users have been caught on the wrong side of the law<\/strong>. Though Kodi itself is legal, most of the third-parties addons that are used for streaming movies, TV shows, sports, live TV, etc are illegal. This is because they provide access to copyrighted content. Many users have therefore ended up getting DMCA notices, and others even facing charges.<\/p>\n To hide your activities completely from your ISP and government, you need to use a reliable VPN like Surfshark<\/a>, which is the best VPN for Kodi at the moment<\/strong>. The VPN doesn\u2019t keep any usage or connection logs, and it\u2019s one of the fastest VPNs around. We have managed to a special discount for our users to help you remain private and secure while streaming on Kodi<\/strong>.<\/p>\nSave 82% of Surfshark now!<\/a>\n Here\u2019s a list of the new additions on Kodi<\/p>\n Other new additions that are not on the forefront include Bluetooth support, CMake build system, visualisations and screensavers, improvements to the JSON-RPC API, improved code stability, performance and security (as well as general code clean-up in many core areas), remote control changes, web interface changes, logging changes, dependency changes, and many more.<\/p>\n Before you upgrade your Kodi version to Kodi 18, you need to take a few steps to ensure that you don\u2019t lose your data.<\/p>\n This is because your Kodi may face some compatibility issues during the upgrade, and you will most likely not have everything as smooth as it should be. When you upgrade, you\u2019ll also be able to use the following skins which have been upgraded for Kodi 18.<\/p>\n After that, you can go ahead and start the upgrade process. You\u2019ll find the steps below for most platforms.<\/p>\n If you want to back up your Kodi before updating, you can check out our Kodi back up guide.<\/p>\n If you had installed Kodi Krypton 17.6, your device should be able to support Kodi 18 Leia.<\/p>\n Kodi 18 can be installed on all Amazon streaming devices.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a complete guide on how to install Kodi 18 Leia on Firestick<\/a><\/p>\n The same procedure can be followed if you are upgrading from Kodi Krypton<\/strong><\/p>\n Since the new Kodi version is official, it\u2019s already available on the official Microsoft store<\/a>. You can install it from there, or even go to the Kodi download page<\/a> and select the Windows version. After the download is complete, you can install the .exe file just like any other program. This applies to both new and existing Kodi users.<\/p>\n For MacOS, just visit the official Kodi download page<\/a> and scroll down to the MacOS version.
