Netflix is releasing its shuffle feature to Android mobile users.
The company originally began testing the Play Something feature back in April, but its officially launching the feature globally on Android.
What does the Play Something feature do?
The tool — which lets Netflix choose something for you to watch — is now available on TV and Android mobile devices. The Play Something button on Android, meanwhile, can be found on mobile devices on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen or roughly around the 17th row on the homepage.
Is the Play Something button available other platforms?
It’s not supported on iOS just yet. Netflix said that it will begin testing the shuffle function on iOS in the coming months, though.
What is the Fast Laughs feature?
Netflix is also launching its Fast Laughs feature — which rolled out on iOS earlier this year, and now on Android mobile devices in select markets, including the US, Australia, Canada, Ireland, India, Malaysia, Philippines, and the UK.
How does it work?
The tool works like a highlight reel of funny clips from its series and films. It’s a little like TikTok but specifically for Netflix funnies.
The company also said that it’s bringing its Downloads for You tool to iOS in the coming month. Originally launched earlier this year on Android, the opt-in feature automatically downloads stuff to watch offline based on your viewing history. It’s a cool feature to have toggled on if, say, you plan to travel and don’t want to forget to download content for offline viewing before your trip.
