The Netflix home page will look quite different for some users today This is because streamers are currently testing a redesign of the TV app (as reported by The Verge), which could make it a bit easier to find the next clock

The new layout replaces the library tiles with an interactive box that stretches when you select them, allowing you to see the synopsis of a movie or show In addition to the same, it displays other relevant details such as release year, episode count, title genre and rating If the title remains long enough, the app will play the preview in the tile

This is an old TV app layout where title information and trailers remain on the top half of the screen while scrolling down Netflix titles and various categories

With the above changes, the new layout no longer has the pop-out menu that was previously on the left side of the Netflix app This menu has been replaced by a small selection of options listed at the top of the screen, including "Search", "Home", "Shows", "Movies" and the "My Netflix" tab that was deployed to the mobile app in 2023 

This means that the "Categories", "My Lists" and "New & Popular" sections are gone, but you can find "Categories" from the Search tab At least, you don't have to scroll all the way to use the new list; apparently, if you just haven't tried your device's Re

yet, "My Netflix" is a "one-stop shop" of apps tailored entirely to individual users by streamers You will be charged as a "Section" In addition to Netflix's featured content, you'll find a carousel of your favorite shows and movies, trailers you've watched, reminders you've set up, content you've downloaded, and a "Recently watched" list

Changes still seen because streamers began rolling out these changes to a small number of subscribers of smart TVs and other streaming devices on Thursday 6/6

But if the redesign is well received by its small subscriber base, Netflix's senior director of products, Pat Flemming, said the changes will soon be announced He told The Verge: "Think of this as a first effort, our best first swing, and what we think is a great new TV experience

"If it goes well, we are enthusiastic and we hope it will be, and we hope it will be" And most of the member base we do this in the coming months and quarters"
