Netflix is testing a new feature on its mobile app that lets users watch short, vertical video clips from its shows and movies — similar to “reels” on social media platforms.

Key features include:

  • Users can scroll through short clips from the “Today’s Top Picks for You” section.
  • From each clip, they can watch the full show or movie, save it to their list, or share it with friends.
  • Netflix’s “Moments” tool lets viewers select the start and end of a scene to create and share custom clips.

This update is part of Netflix’s effort to attract mobile users who enjoy short, bite-sized videos like those on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels.

According to Netflix, the feature will help users discover shows more easily, share favourite moments, and explore new content in a mobile-friendly format.
