Netflix brings a lot of good material every day to its eternal list of films and TV shows. In regards, the firm has also been testing new methods for consumers to communicate with all of this material, particularly on the smartphone app.
Netflix might be focusing on a unique means of making all of its material feature as Instagram posts do.
This new function, called ‘ Extras, ‘ is currently being developed with a tiny amount of users as per a report of Variety.
We are testing a feed of video extras in our mobile app to help fans connect more deeply with the titles they love and discover new ones to watch. These tests typically vary in length of time and by region, and may not become permanent.

A specialized icon will appear for those who were chosen for the above beta program to enter a kind of Instagram like feed for surfing via the material of Netflix. Clips throughout the stream will automatically play and can be scrolled horizontally without picture and sound galleries. The Extras function also highlights the exchange of suggestions to others through the third party app.
This function is still very much in testing stage and very frequently many of these characteristics will fade without being released as a bigger stable update. It is not, indeed, the very first time that Netflix has tried to use elements from famous social networking applications like Instagram and Snapchat. Before this one, Netflix introduced a function to provide vertical promos of video that look like stories from Facebook owned Indtagram.
