Netflix now has Instagram Stories in its app

Instagram Stories have made history. So much so, that now they also want them on Netflix. The application of the popular streaming platform has just released a new functionality that will come in handy to publicize new releases and news.

This is very similar – not to say identical – to Instagram Stories. If you are a subscriber to this service, from now on you will see that a kind of Stories appears at the top. Something like advances or trailers arranged in circles, with a duration of 30 seconds, of the new content that has become part of the Netflix catalog.

If you are already trying to see how this novelty works and you still don't know how to do it, don't worry. Keep in mind that it will start arriving from today Thursday for iOS users. And those with an Android device will still have to wait a little longer Because the functionality will be rolled out later.

Netflix will have its own Instagram Stories

Netflix has advanced this novelty through an official statement. In it, he explains that Netflix users will soon be able to enjoy 30-second stories, arranged in a vertical format, at the top of the application.

When users access these Stories, they can scroll through them to see all the content. And thus get a preview of what you can see on NetflixIt is the same design that we can find on both Instagram and Snapchat, so if you are used to this model, it will be very familiar to you. And maybe also very useful for finding out what's going on on the platform.

Last year, Netflix already released video trailers. These previews are useful, according to the platform itself, to help users discover content that may interest them in a more agile and quick way. It seems, in fact, that they have been quite successful.

This can also help. Because they load fast and are easy to use. If you are interested in trying them, as we said, you can do it on your iOS devices. If you have an Android, you will have to wait a bit.
