Netflix has revamped its mobile app with a new feature called Clips, along with a redesigned interface aimed at making content discovery engaging. The update introduces a vertical short-video feed, similar to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, allowing users to find content without navigating multiple pages. The company said the changes are designed to simplify navigation and improve discovery, particularly during short viewing sessions such as commutes or breaks.
What are Netflix Clips and how it works
Clips is a vertical video feed that shows short snippets from movies, series and specials available on Netflix. The feature is designed to give users a quick preview of content without browsing through multiple pages. The feed is personalised based on user preferences and viewing habits.
The company said this approach is intended to make content discovery more interactive. At the Consumer Electronics Show 2026, Disney announced plans to introduce similar short-form vertical videos on Disney+, indicating a broader industry shift toward this format.
Redesigned mobile experience
Netflix said the updated mobile interface focuses on a cleaner and more streamlined design. The company has prioritised relevant content, reduced clutter and simplified navigation to make it easier for users to find content.
What’s coming next
Netflix plans to expand Clips by adding podcasts, live programming and curated collections based on genres and user interests.
This suggests the feature could evolve into a broader content discovery hub beyond short previews.
Rollout details
The new mobile interface and Clips feature are rolling out in several regions, including India, the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines and South Africa. Netflix said it will expand availability to more regions in the coming months.
