As streaming giant Netflix celebrates its 16th anniversary, the company has decided to treat its iOS users to a fresh and fluid new interface. The update, which is now available to subscribers, has been met with widespread praise for its sleek design and smooth functionality.
One of the key figures behind the modernization of the interface is Janum Trivedi, a former software engineer at Netflix. Trivedi has taken to Twitter to give users a glimpse of the new design, which he describes as “a little fluidity jewel.”
One of the most striking elements of the new interface is the “iOSization” of the design. The video icons have been updated to resemble those found on iOS applications, giving the interface a familiar and user-friendly feel.
Another major aesthetic success is the 3D display panel of the selected series. The panel is now able to follow and react to the movements of the smartphone, adding an extra layer of immersion for the user. With a small lighting effect, it almost feels like you can see the image coming out of the screen.
Overall, the new interface is sure to charm Netflix users on iOS devices. While there’s no word yet on whether Android users will also receive a similar update, it’s clear that the company is committed to providing the best possible streaming experience for its users.
