Netflix Sleep Timer: A Boon for Binge-Watchers!

 

Netflix is the world's leading streaming entertainment service that lets users stream videos such as movies and TV shows. It allows us to indulge in our favorite content anywhere and anytime. With the launch of numerous new features, Netflix is trying to enhance the user experience and take it up the scale every time. 

Netflix is experimenting with a brand new function that allows you to set a sleep timer for a tv show or movie, and the app will stop playing video when the time limit comes to an end. The company is currently testing this feature globally, but it is not open for everyone, The Verge reported. Based on user's feedbacks Netflix will expand this feature on TV, Desktops, and IOS.  However, it seems like a perfect feature for kids, where screen time is involved, but for now it is only limited to adult profiles.

The upcoming sleep timer feature lets people choose between four timer settings for any video according to his/her convenience, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45minutes, or the end of whatever Netflix user is watching.  After the selected time limit comes to an end, the Netflix app will terminate the ongoing process / the video you are watching and will shut down. 

This feature is also designed to save energy and battery life on mobile devices. Watching Netflix in bed is a popular activity, but dozing off in the middle of a stream often happens. This new feature will be helpful for people who tend to fall asleep while watching the movies/series.
