It might be one of the most popular videos on-demand services on the Internet. However, it is also immune to do some mistakes. One such major mistake was its former mobile player UI, which was not very handy for various users. But now the company has taken care of the issue and it has finally redesigned the interface. Now with the redesigning of the interface, it is much easier to use now.
Whats new in Netflix Player UI design:
The new design brings with it a new forward and back 10-second buttons. These buttons will make it easier for the users to jump to the exact point they want to. Also, double tapping on the left or right side of the screen while watching will instantly move backward or forward. The new design will also bring bigger controls for play pause. Now they will also contain some labels to quickly select Episodes or turn on Audio & Subtitles. Now users can also click on Next Episode to quickly get to the next episode of the series.
All of these new buttons have haptic feedback, which may or may not be too according to user’s preference. But one thing is sure, that is the new design is certainly a welcome change.
