Shortly after bumping up the resolution cap for the ad-supported plan, Netflix is further improving the user experience with new filters for the My List feature. These filters let you quickly find your saved movies and shows on the app. The update is already rolling out to Android users, with the iOS app following in the coming weeks.
My List on Netflix is a dedicated section for bookmarked shows and movies. You can add any title that you’re interested in watching or are already watching to your list for easier access later. However, if you have added too many titles, it may defeat the whole purpose of the feature as you’d need to spend more time looking through the list to find the one you are looking for.
Netflix is fixing this problem with filters. The My List section now has various chips at the top that let you quickly filter or sort the saved titles in one of many ways. You can filter titles by movies, TV shows, “Haven’t Started” watching, “Started” watching, and more. You can also sort titles in alphabetical order, by release date, or when they were added to the list. The larger your “My List” collection is, the more useful these filters are.
This isn’t the only notable change coming to Netflix’s My List feature, though. The streaming giant now also lets you remove titles from the list much quicker. You can swipe directly on the title cards to remove them (via). Earlier, you needed to tap on the title card to go to its details page and unselect the My List checkmark icon to remove it from the list. This change further improves the user experience.
Netflix is adding a “Coming Soon” row to its TV app
The aforementioned changes to My List are currently only planned for Netflix’s mobile apps. Meanwhile, the TV version of the streaming platform is adding a “Coming Soon” row to the homescreen. As you’d expect, this row will let you see which films and shows are arriving on Netflix in the coming months. You can sign up to get a reminder when a movie or show is available. Note that the “New & Popular” tab already lets you discover upcoming titles on Netflix.
The “Coming Soon” row on the homescreen of Netflix’s TV app will be available to users globally over the next few weeks. Meanwhile, the updated My List section is now rolling out to Android users.
