Netflix for Android will have a timer in case you fall asleep

Surely more than once you have fallen asleep while watching a movie or series on Netflix. It is something common especially if we are using the app on mobile phones.

Today Netflix announced the testing of a new feature that will allow us to avoid missing a lot of content, a timer.

Netflix begins testing programmable timer

The new function will appear on the interface in the profiles of some users, although for the moment it is not something that will be launched massively. By following these steps, we can decide when the playback will stop:

• Start playing any Netflix content.
• In the upper right corner, a clock icon called Timer will appear.
• Click on it.
• Select 15, 30, 45 minutes or “Finish”.

This function is also useful when leaving the cell phone or putting the television on a minor, who does not want several hours to stay in front of the screen.

And yes, we say TV because it was not specified that this function will not reach the Android TV version of Netflix, which is the one used by brands such as Phillips, Xiaomi, Sony or TCL.
