Netflix Streamlines Mobile Rating System for Shows and Movies
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Verge
Netflix is introducing new thumb buttons on its mobile app, allowing users to give a thumbs-up, double thumbs-up, or thumbs-down to a show or movie while watching it. This feature aims to provide users with an easier way to personalize their viewing preferences and improve the streaming service's algorithms. The thumb buttons will be available on iOS starting Monday and will be released on Android at a later date. Users can still rate videos from a show or movie's details screen even when not actively watching it on mobile. Netflix transitioned from a star rating system to a thumbs-up system in 2017 and added the double thumbs-up option in 2022.
