Netflix Expands Mobile ‘Moments’ to Let Viewers Trim and Share Clips

The update advances Netflix’s phone-first strategy to spur social discovery.

Overview

  • Users can now set both start and end points with a Clip button and drag handles, save clips to the My Netflix tab, and share links that open the scene in the Netflix app.
  • The rollout is mobile-only and is available on iOS, with coverage also noting Android support in the Netflix app.
  • Netflix timed the release with Part 2 of Wednesday season 2 to encourage sharing around new episodes without revealing plot details.
  • The company says Moments has been used across thousands of titles and highlighted the most saved scene globally as the Saja Boys performing “Soda Pop” from KPop Demon Hunters.
  • Some outlets report limitations including subscriber-only viewing for shared clips and an unconfirmed cap of up to two minutes per clip.
