Netflix Officially Adding "Shuffle Play" Option ✖ For those who spend too much time trying to figure out what to watch when sitting down on the couch with your plethora of streaming services, Netflix is finally making that decision a little bit easier. The streaming giant has been testing a "shuffle play" option for the last few months, which uses an algorithm to simply choose a title for you, based on things that you have watched in the past. This feature has been available on certain TV platforms, but Netflix is planning to launch it on even more devices in the near future.
