Netflix could have its own version of Instagram Stories
How would you like to review the original series that Netflix is adding or about to add to its catalog as if they were Instagram Stories? Netflix seems to have liked the idea enough to carry out some simple tests Something that could be the step prior to definitively including it in its mobile application. A good way to integrate a habit that is increasingly rooted in society, that of consuming stories, with the promotional content of Netflix.
Of course, at the moment it is a test, and from Netflix there has been no official confirmation that this function will reach the rest of the users. However, some have already seen how this new function works within the tab Extras Quite a feature so you don't miss out on what's to come, and above all to share these contents outside of the Netflix application itself, which is what the company is interested in.
The idea is simple: a new tab inside the application, located right at the bottom next to the rest (Search, Home , Downloads and More), but in the middle of the action, according to the screenshots shared by the media that have echoed this curious appearance. The new tab is called Extras, and all you have to do is click on it to see publications about the original content produced by Netflix. For example, the new poster for the long-awaited third season of Stranger Things, or videos with trailers that automatically play silently (unless we press them).All this being able to go from one content to another almost as if it were Instagram Stories. It does not stop here.
The beauty of this function is that it offers information of interest to Netflix users. Issues such as the release date of the series or movie, information about the plot, posters or photographs of the protagonists, etc. Along with this, there is the option to set a reminder for the date on which the content is released, and thus receive the notice from the application so as not to forget about it. Similarly, there is also a sharing feature. In this way, the content of the Extras section would not stay here, but could be shared through WhatsApp, Facebook, the Instagram Stories themselves, etc. A real promotional weapon for Netflix.
As we say, there is no official confirmation about the arrival of this function. Although some media echo the words of Netflix spokespersons who confirm that there are always design tests. And that there are features arriving at different times in different regions, and at different times Comments that make us think it's a matter of time before the Extras tab appears for everyone in the future. Although we will have to wait for it.
