Netflix has just announced a new feature called Moments that lets users save, share, and easily rewatch specific scenes from shows and movies. This feature, which is debuting today on Netflix’s iOS app, provides a new way for viewers to engage with memorable scenes and share standout moments with friends on social media or directly in messages.
Moments is currently exclusive to mobile devices and will only be available on iOS to start, with an Android rollout expected in the coming weeks. Users who want to save a scene will simply need to tap the Moments button located at the top of the screen. Once saved, the scene will be stored in the “My Netflix” tab, where viewers can return to it and rewatch it at any time. Upon revisiting a Moment, episodes or movies will resume directly from the saved scene.
Additionally, the Moments feature includes social sharing options, allowing Netflix users to share specific scenes with friends. Unlike the platform’s existing sharing tools for full episodes and movies, Moments focuses on specific clips, similar to popular features offered by Twitch and YouTube. This feature could be a significant update for Netflix users who want to share dramatic, funny, or unexpected moments without having to describe the entire context.
In a blog post, Netflix hinted that this could be the beginning of a broader rollout of social features on its platform, with a spokesperson noting, “We hope Moments will expand in the future, offering members even more ways to use and enjoy the feature.” This expansion could lead to a more interactive streaming experience, one that encourages sharing and rewatching within a social framework—a strategy that has proven effective for other content platforms like YouTube.
