Netflix Plans Mobile App Overhaul with Vertical Video Feed and Podcasts

Netflix plans to revamp its mobile app with short-form video feeds and podcasts, aiming to boost daily engagement and compete with social platforms. The redesign, set to roll out later this year, will feature swipeable clips for faster content discovery and the integration of video podcasts. Netflix's Chief Technology Officer Elizabeth Stone stressed that the company is not trying to become TikTok, but wants to make its app more engaging through mobile-first features.
