This feature will allow users to turn off the video and listen only to audio. A new audio only mode has been spotted on the Netflix mobile app
Netflix recommends you to watch its programs on big screens but it keeps updating its mobile app to bring more features to the smaller screens as well. It seems like the last report asserting an audio only mode coming to the Netflix app was correct and it is closing its release.
In the last week of October, XDA Developers spotted the audio only feature in the Netflix mobile app. Now, it seems like the first few subscribers have got the feature as part of the server-side rollout. Folks at Android Police have shared the screenshots of the first look of this feature appearing inside the app.
