Here’s What’s New in Netflix’s Latest iOS Update

With this update, Netflix finally appears as an app worthy of its rating, and it will undoubtedly entice some to lure watching it on smartphones. Especially since that’s not the only change the latter brings. As a matter of fact, Janum Trivedi cites other new features included in this version in a second tweet.

For example, content display panels now respond and emit a faint light effect when the user moves their smartphone. It is somewhat anecdotal, and therefore absolutely indispensable. The app also displays new color gradients based on posters of selected movies and TV shows. Transitions have also been reworked and can now be interacted with.

Finally, the app offers haptic feedback as well as introducing a new design for the launch and user profile page. In short, a more modern application is available today.
