shareholder letter<\/a> (via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/streaming\/913539\/netflix-mobile-app-update-vertical-video\"><em>The Verge<\/em><\/a>), saying that the redesign would &#8220;better reflect our expanded entertainment offering&#8221; and make it easier for members to engage &#8220;how and when they want&#8221;. The company justifies its move by saying that the lines between entertainment on TV and mobile devices are blurring. Netflix says its new move into video podcasts is already over-indexing on mobile and during daytime viewing, so it clearly sees more room for people to keep browsing on their phones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>This will come as no surprise to many customers. Netflix was already testing a vertical video feed on mobile that lets you swipe through clips of shows and movies, then tap to watch, save or share them. It was also testing a generative AI search tool built on more natural-language signals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>More details about what the updated app will actually look like haven&#8217;t been made public yet, but vertical video is clearly the direction of travel for many platforms in 2026. In any case, given the time frame mentioned, we won&#8217;t have long to wait to know more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_uc e_P\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
