Netflix introduces 30-seconds long vertical mobile previews on Android.

Who doesn't love trailers? Trailers are how producers get us excited and build momentum until the release of their movies. Trailers also help us, viewers, decide whether a movie or TV show is worth our time and money, and Netflix is capitalizing on that to get us to watch more series and movies.

In an update that is soon coming to Android, the streaming giant will add mobile previews to its app. The company says, "mobile previews present members with a fun, simple, and easy way to learn about all the content on Netflix - and find something great to watch even faster." The previews are 30 seconds long and are presented in a vertical format as opposed to the default landscape mode for viewing. 

"The previews are shown like a slideshow, so if you see something you like, you can tap the screen to advance to the next preview.", the company wrote in a blog post. Of course, Netflix will show the type of movies and shows based on your taste.

Again, this feature is not yet available on Android devices yet - although it made it to Apple devices already. Netflix did not say when the update will be available for Android, so make sure you check Google Play Store.
