Netflix for Android adds a screen lock button to prevent unwanted touches

Netflix recently introduced a new “Screen Lock” button in the Android app. The feature will be useful if you find yourself accidentally interrupting video streams from time to time.

The new “Screen Lock” button is located in the bottom left-hand corner of the on-screen UI. Tapping this button will hide all on-screen buttons, including the play/pause buttons, skip 10 seconds forward/backward buttons, Google Cast button, timeline scrubber, brightness slider, and more. The only button that will be shown when the screen is locked is a lock button that the user can tap twice to unhide all the on-screen buttons. The user can still interact with the status bar/notifications and exit the app via the standard navigation buttons and/or full-screen gestures, though.

Netflix may soon let you watch your partially downloaded shows and movies on Android. Netflix has supported offline downloads on both mobile and desktop apps since 2016, but it does not let you play any videos that have not been completely downloaded.

This may soon change. Strings found inside the Netflix app version 7.58.0 suggest that company is planning to add the support for playing partially downloaded content.

Prime Video allows this already, and I love this feature.
