Netflix: HUGE SECRET Revealed to MILLIONS of Subscribers
Netflix it implements a function that is more suitable for an audio streaming application than for a video streaming one, but that's how something like this is going to arrive in the future in Android phones. Version 7.79.1 of the Netflix application for Android is the one in which the source code mentions this functionality for background audio, and there is also an explanation of its utility for platform users.
"Save data by pausing the video and listening to your favorite shows. The video is muted, but you can continue listening to the show while you're busy with other things."
Netflix tells people that this function can help them to substantially reduce their internet traffic consumption, but also to do various other things while listening to the movies, series, documentaries they choose. Netflix's decision is a very interesting one, and more than likely there will be subscribers who will be happy to have a functionality of this kind offered, even if it is not a typical one for a video streaming application, as I said before.
Netflix for now it is testing this new functionality for its application dedicated to phones with the Android operating system, so it remains to be seen when exactly it will be launched for everyone.
