Netflix tests a new feature much awaited by users of its “app” on mobile devices

The platform seeks in this way to help users consume content when they cannot see their screens, while saving data usage.

The Netflix video platform is testing a new feature highly anticipated by users who allows you to play series and movies in audio mode only, reports the XDA Developers portal.

According to the portal, with this feature, application users can listen to their favorite series as if they were podcasts. This way, a person can perform other activities on their device, while still listening to a movie.

The specialists found evidence of the presence of the function in the application code in version 7.79.1 for devices running Android. As mentioned in the platform code, the feature will not only help users consume content when they can’t see their screens, but also it will also save data usageas the video will not stream along with the audio.

For its part, YouTube Premium already offers a similar functionality in which the user can continue watching a video even when the application is not in the foreground or the smartphone is locked.

However, specialists point out that it is not known whether Netflix will finally decide to include the feature in its ‘app’, as, for now, it is only testing it.
