Netflix Rolling Out Shuffle Feature Called "Play Something" ✖ Netflix is giving fans a feature called play something and a lot of users are taking notice. The Internet has been asking for a shuffle function on the site for ages, and it looks like they’ve gotten their wish with this innovation. Right beneath your profile icon, the universal symbol for mixing it up is right there waiting to be pressed. Netflix has never been one to leave their user interface alone, while it has prodded and poked the sidebar before, this presents a deeper departure from the physical choosing of titles. Some users won’t see any problem with that, while others think it’s a poor substitute for channel surfing. Even more interestingly, Netflix decided to give TV users the update as well. That would be considered something of a rarity for the company until now.
