Netflix Instant Queue Gone, Changed to 'My List'
Netflix users may notice something different about their Instant Queue. It's no longer there. Instead, Netflix has introduced 'My List'-- a new way to sort your favorite movies and TV shows.
According to TechCrunch, Netflix continues to personalize its streaming video service, most recently with 'My List,' a way for users to save a list of TV shows and movies they can watch later.
The point of 'My List' is that sometimes users may come across a movie or TV show they're interested in, but they don't have time to watch it right away. In these situations, users can simply click 'Add To My List' in the title's description, and that particular title will be added to the list.
The Instant Queue was only available to U.S. subscribers, so 'My List' may seem somewhat similar.
According to TechCrunch, the problem with the Instant Queue was the ordering of titles was aimless, unless users were the type to check off titles and clear ones they'd seen off the list.
One of the main differences between the Instant Queue and 'My List' is that it will be available to users worldwide. It will also be openly featured on the home screen, which will provide simple access to saved titles.
Another difference is that 'My List' will have automated sorting. The order of the titles on the list isn't based on the order the titles were added. The order is updated on the home screen, based on types of TV shows and movies users have been watching.
'My List' "only makes sense" as it provides users with a new feature that enables them to save TV shows and movies they want to watch in the future, according to TechCrunch.
Earlier this month, Netflix introduced individual user profiles, a feature that also strives to make the user experience more personalized.
