How have you been working through the Netflix catalogue during iso? Alphabetically? Categorically – Coming Of Age Films With A Strong Female Lead first and then followed up with Films Directed By Women? Or if you’re like me, the Watch Again category is getting a workout. However you’ve been traipsing through the titles, you never have to do it again – thanks to a new Netflix feature.
Netflix’s ‘The Kissing Booth 2’ is coming soon, hear all about it:
A new feature was spotted by a random Android user when using the Netflix app on their phone. The Netflix feature appeared under a new category on the home screen with a ‘shuffle’ icon in the top right corner.
The user then tipped off Android Police (lol ok) about the new feature, who did some investigating to make sure this hasn’t been around for ages and we’re just finding out now.

Turns out, Netflix is trialling a ‘shuffle’ feature on popular TV shows so you can just pick up at any random place.
A spokesperson for Netflix said, ““We are testing the ability for members to play a random episode from different TV series on the Android mobile app. These tests typically vary in length of time and by region, and may not become permanent.”
This has been something that people have really been after for a while, and would be welcomed in addition to the Netflix Party feature where you can watch with friends on different screens.
If you want to keep going back to something you’ve seen a million times, but not start the whole damn thing again, this feature is genius. If you’ve got an Android, keep an eye out for the new Netflix feature trial.
