Netflix is often seen adding various new features, including games, on its mobile apps, but the streaming platform has not made any changes to its web version lately. However, according to recent reports, Netflix might be testing a redesigned UI for its web client that provides a sleeker view of the content and shows more information as compared to the current UI. So, let’s take a look at the details.
Currently, if you visit Netflix using a web browser on your desktop or laptop, you would see the featured movie or TV show at the top with categories like “Because You Watched” or “Continue Watching” located just below it.
As you can see, the redesigned UI looks much better than the current UI. It is cleaner and adds an overlayed carousel of movies and TV shows that you might like on top of the featured content. We have added a screenshot of what Netflix for the web currently looks like. You can check out the attachment for your reference. We weren’t able to see the new UI for ourselves at the time of writing, though!
Additionally, other than showing the poster of the movies or TV shows, the new carousel provides short descriptions of each movie and TV show beside them. This provides more clarity for the user to decide whether or not they want to watch a movie or a TV show.
