Sometimes finding your desired show on Netflix can feel like navigating through a maze, but this is likely to change from today. The streaming giant is launching a ‘My Netflix’ feature on its iOS app (and Android starting early August), which consolidates everything you’re currently viewing or planning to watch in a single location. This includes ongoing shows, downloads, and even ‘My List’ items, notifications, and programs you’ve flagged after watching their trailers. This feature potentially allows you to dive into a series without recalling how you discovered it in the first place.
The new tab is now globally available and will supersede the ‘Downloads’ section once integrated into the app. As per Netflix, the more you engage with the platform, the more this tab will evolve, encouraging users to actively like or add shows to their watch list. Meanwhile, the ‘Home’ tab will continue to serve those interested in exploring fresh content.
In part, this development acknowledges that the Netflix user interface can sometimes be challenging when you’re simply trying to find a particular show you’re excited about. However, it’s also a strategy to retain audience engagement. In principle, making it easier for subscribers to locate their next desired titles would likely increase their chances of maintaining their subscriptions. This move also assists Netflix in enhancing user interactions and identifying trending shows beyond just viewership metrics.
Netflix is certainly not struggling with demand. Their recent crackdown on password sharing seems to have reaped benefits, with a significant uptick in subscriptions from users who previously relied on friends’ accounts. Although this new feature alone may not sustain this growth momentum, it could potentially motivate new subscribers to keep their subscriptions active, deterring them from switching to competitors like Amazon.
