Netflix to add TikTok-style videos in app update

Netflix plans to redesign its mobile app in 2026 to incorporate more short-form video features and enhance content discovery, according to its Q4 earnings report.

The update aims to better align with social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels by integrating vertical video feeds for short clips from shows and movies.

During the earnings call, co-CEO Ted Sarandos highlighted the increasing competition across entertainment, noting that traditional TV content now competes with platforms like YouTube and Instagram for audience attention.
