If
you haven’t noticed it yet, go and check the Netflix home screen as there have
been some changes. You can now see a “shuffle
play” option!

So,
Netflix has decided to add a shuffling feature so that its users can enjoy
streaming movies and TV shows with a hint of surprise! This option is actually
great for two reasons. Firstly, now you don’t have to think hard and ask other
people for suggestion on what to watch. Simply use this feature and let the
fate decide!

In
addition, say no to fights with siblings, spouses, and friends! Let Netflix
decide what you’ll be watching this evening.

Do
you know that this option has been available since July? In fact, the company
has already tested and is still testing a couple of looks on how the feature
might look in future. They’ve played with “Play
Something” as well.

Obviously,
the plan is to productize it and not just leave it on as an experiment. For now,
the option is only available for TV devices so stop right there if you were
about to complain the inaccessibility.

Again,
this shuffle feature or shuffle button chooses programs, based on your previous watches! So, if you
previously watch Stranger Things, it’s possible the spin might lead to Umbrella
Academy.

TechCrunch
was the first to notice these changes! Previously, there were features that
took you to a completely random episode of a specific TV series. It sounds
interesting but not if you’ve got a very specific taste – or if you’re too
moody!

A
spokesperson has said: “We run these
tests in different countries and for different periods of time – and only make
them broadly available if people find them useful.”
