Netflix rolls out Play Something function on Android, will help users who can't decide what to watch

Netflix is rolling out a Play Something Feature that will help indecisive users watch shows they may like. It is also rolling out the TikTok-like fast laughs feature for Android users.

Can't decide what to watch? Netflix will now help you watch shows you may like. Netflix is rolling out a shuffle feature of sorts called Play Something for Android users. Users will have to simply open the Netflix App where they can see the Play Something. However, the feature does not play anything and will analyse the user’s viewing history and preferences to select a show that users may like to watch. In case users do not like what Netflix is showing, it also has a Play Something Else toggle that users can click on to watch something else.

Netflix might play something that the users may have started watching and added to their watchlist. It will also put details in the box that appears below on the screen noting that the show is similar to a previously watched show or in the same genre that the user might have watched before.
