Even Netflix is getting into vertical videos, and a mobile app redesign is being discussed

Netflix said its Q1 2026 update will bring a redesigned mobile app, including a new vertical-video discovery feed later this month.

The rollout will also include broader app improvements and AI-driven recommendations.

The move is aimed at making content discovery more engaging by borrowing short-form video tactics.

Netflix’s shift could pressure other streamers, including Disney Plus, to follow suit.
