The Netflix experience has remained more or less the same over the past decade, but things are now changing in a big way. The streaming giant is well set to introduce its biggest overhaul for its TV and mobile apps, bringing a fresh new interface, along with AI integration and vertical scrolling feed like TikTok.

On Wednesday, Netflix shared an official post sharing all the new changes coming to the streaming platform. First, they are giving a much-needed revamp to the homepage with bigger previews, real-time recommendations for content, and an overall modern layout. They have also made shortcuts for search and My List more accessible.

Next, they are introducing an AI-powered search engine to their app. Rather than typing out the name, you can search using conversational phrases like “I want to watch something scary with clowns.” The feature will be limited to the iOS version of the Netflix app at first. To try it out, users will have to opt in to use it.
