The redesigned Netflix app brings a new vertical video format called Clips. It is geared towards content discovery, allowing users to view short video snippets. They can also save titles to My List, share the clips with friends, or jump directly into the show or movie the clip is from. The feed is claimed to be personalised, based on the user's viewing habits and interactions across the app.

Netflix also announced plans to test themed Clips collections in the future, based on specific genres, moods, interests, behind-the-scenes moments, reality television highlights, or podcast excerpts.

On the gaming front, the company will add a new KPop Demon Hunters collection to the Playground beginning June 20. It includes six new minigames inspired by the franchise, which are claimed to allow younger audiences to engage with characters and stories from the series through interactive gameplay. More titles based on popular children's series, films, and characters are expected to be introduced in the future, too.
