Netflix has yet another new feature up its sleeve that is being tested in different countries.
But if you want to try them out, you might be disappointed.
Netflix * announced several weeks ago that it was testing a new feature.
It is also already available in Germany.
However, not everyone sees them.
Tired of getting the same suggestions on
Netflix
every day
?
Or do the Netflix Top 10 just not suit your taste?
Those who opt for a leisurely streaming evening often simply do not yet know which film or series to pass the time with.
Good suggestions are therefore worth a lot.
This has
Netflix
also recognized and therefore testing a new button, the undecided will help: a
shuffle function
, are rolls of films and series random.
But where exactly can you find it?
We answer the most important questions on the topic.
Netflix is testing the shuffle function - but not everyone sees it
If you are really hot for the new
shuffle function
, you might initially be disappointed with a look at your own Netflix profile.
It is not offered to everyone, or it does not seem to be available on every device.
Why is that?
Netflix is still
testing the shuffle button, so it makes sense that only individual users can currently access this option.
As reported by PC Welt, among others, the streaming service has been experimenting with the function for several weeks in different countries and over different periods of time.
American users in particular seem to be enjoying the innovation, although according to PC Welt, Shuffle is mainly offered there on the
Netflix app
and on
TV sets
.
If many users access Shuffle and find the button useful, it will be introduced globally for all subscribers.
Incidentally
, the function is also to be offered to individual users in Germany
under the name
“Random playback”
.
It can be found on televisions in the left menu bar between the items
"Home"
and
"Brand New"
.

Netflix shuffle function is probably not as arbitrary as expected
Anyone who hopes to receive completely arbitrary suggestions is unfortunately wrong.
Apparently, mainly content is diced that
match the last seen films and series
.
These could already be on the start page anyway, since the suggestions there are largely based on the interests of a user.
