Netflix has begun testing a new vertical video feed on its mobile app, called 'Clips,' according to reports from users and tech media. The feature presents a scrollable feed of short, vertical video previews from Netflix's library of shows and movies, similar to TikTok or Instagram Reels.
The Clips feed appears as a new tab in the app's bottom navigation bar, replacing the 'Coming Soon' section for some users. Each clip is typically 30 to 60 seconds long and includes a 'Watch Now' button that links to the full title. Netflix has not officially announced a wide rollout, but the feature is being tested with a subset of subscribers on iOS and Android.
This move is part of Netflix's broader effort to improve content discovery and compete with social media platforms for user attention. The company has previously experimented with short-form video, including 'Fast Laughs' in 2021, which showed comedic clips. The Clips feed appears to be a more comprehensive version of that concept.
As of April 30, 2026, Netflix has not confirmed a global launch date or whether the feature will remain exclusive to mobile devices. The test is ongoing, and user feedback may influence the final design.
