After introducing playback speed controls to Netflix’s mobile app on Android, the video streaming giant has now brought a similar option to its website. The company has also started testing an audio-only mode on Netflix’s mobile app.
Much like its mobile counterpart, you can choose a playback speed ranging from 0.5x to 1.5x. The feature is present as a speedometer icon to the bottom right corner of the player interface that appears when you play a movie or TV show. When you click on the speedometer icon, you will see the option to set the playback speed to 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, or 1.5x. Image Courtesy: Subin B/ Beebom
Another feature in the works is an audio-only mode on mobile. The feature, first spotted by XDA in an APK teardown last month, is now in beta testing on Android. As spotted by Anmol from our team, the option is available in the latest Netflix version 7.83.0 build 25 25223 (beta).
With audio-only mode, you can continue listening to a movie or series in the background while you’re using other apps or when your screen is locked. Once widely available, you will see the controls to toggle audio-only mode in the player interface. Image Courtesy: Anmol Sachdeva/ Beebom
