Technical Support Netflix TV UI has changed - anyone else??

I personally hate it, things are too big and rounded now for no reason. Makes things much harder to look at, actually.

My phone's Netflix hasn't changed. If there is a way to revert it on TV, it'd be great to know. In the meantime I suppose I'll check to turn off auto-update on my phone.

I'll never understand how offering less info on the screen is a good idea.

Before, you could see 3 categories with 6+ titles in each all at once. It allowed you to see a large selection of content without having to constantly scroll. It felt like a large selection.

Now you can see one category, with 4 movies, and a peek at what the next category is. It feels claustrophobic, and like there exists less choice. We went from viewing almost 20 titles at once to FOUR.

Insane UI decisions. Somehow this is even worse than Crave.

It's literally like they just zoomed into 30% of the old UI, and then just resized it to fit your screen.

Exactly... I was part of the user trial for this about a year ago...spent hours finding out how to remove my account from participating so it would go back to normal.

And now it's friggin permanent...smh

u/mopeyy Jun 03 '25

Oh man that's almost worse than just logging in one day to find it changed 😂

u/Theriseofsatanishere Jun 16 '25

You can’t even see what tv show episodes you watch’s. This is fucking awful

1

u/Zyonwilson Jun 18 '25

I’ve seen other people say this but I haven’t had that problem. You mean when you click on more episodes and it has the red line to show how much of it you watched? If so it still has that on mine

1

u/Theriseofsatanishere Jul 03 '25

You right my Netflix on tv was glitchy and don’t load the bars at first. Or it was a day 1 glitch or something

u/Old_Comfortable_832 Jun 01 '25

Truly makes NO sense!

u/Robert_bbq Jun 27 '25

Indeed, this UI is a very bad design.

On top of that, the 4 suggested movies i have allready watched.

I'm a sucker for app redesigns, but this is just atrocious. So hard to figure out what to watch now.

u/NebulaUpper1545 May 30 '25

quoting from TheSun newspaper:

Netflix says that the new design solves a number of problems plaguing telly fans.

In particular, it's meant to fix that issue where you can't decide what to watch and spend ages agonising over a TV show or movie.

"Finding your next watch on Netflix is about to become that much easier," Netflix explained.

So you don't need to figure out what to watch. Netflix will choose something for you.

u/Rbasicuser Jun 07 '25

So you decide to reduce the amount of shows on the screen so users don't have to scroll as much? What kind of logic is that? I had to scroll enough as it was to find a show that I would like and that I hadn't already watched. And no, your 4 items on the screen does not help me with my next watch. This change may just be a deal breaker for me. This is a sad UI. I'm already frustrated and moving on to a different app. If my family feels the same way I can keep my money and move on to something better.

u/Obvious-Catch-5333 Jun 12 '25

Agree 100%. May be the end for me too

2

u/samcjsat6457 13d ago

To be fair, endless scrolling all the titles is very enjoyable a lot of the time. And I heard few friends like to do that as well. Netflix should only care whether people subscribe than people actually watching things on Netflix.

u/kingetzu Jun 11 '25

I wish they'd choose to turn it back

1

u/Zyonwilson Jun 18 '25

How can a company decide what’s easier for paying customers, doesn’t make any sense. They made it worse because now you have to endlessly scroll to find shit. It’s the same shit different toilet paper, old and new design. If you don’t know what to watch on either you’ll scroll, making everything so much bigger does not help that problem

1

u/Names_are_limited 28d ago

It’s dystopian

1

u/Standard_Bar_189 9d ago

no it’s just dumb. dystopian would be paying $200 a month for tv and having an unconstitutional agency tell you what channels youre aloud to buy

wait a minute 
my sources tell me that’s called cable .

I opened Netflix on my TV and spent 5 mins wondering why Amazon prime kept showing up instead until I realised

u/Old_Comfortable_832 Jun 02 '25

Its 10x worse than amazons. (Unless you are refering to "prime video" which isnstill 5x better) . But firetv has adaptive design and you can see more than two thumb as at time... Prime video...kinda sux, so I pull content from firetv layout instead

u/stone2221 May 31 '25 edited Jun 01 '25

Yep. Horrible ui experience. When are they going to add a useful feature that tells you have already watched something?

3

u/Rbasicuser Jun 07 '25

Or that allows you to say Hide this title from my suggestions. Maybe you've watched it already or maybe you have zero interest in watching it so you don't need these popping up as suggestions.

u/nitsotov 29d ago

Then you would see that there is not as much on Netflix as you thought.

u/Mindless_Truth_2436 May 31 '25

Horrible. I want to view all my «My list» on the whole screen, but I got to scroll sideways now. Wtf

u/Unlucky-Film4604 Jun 01 '25

Yeah horrible. Thank God I've got an old netflix version on my phone

u/Mindless_Truth_2436 Jun 01 '25

Phone version at the very least had a «View all» option :/

u/KBJ2007 May 30 '25 edited May 30 '25

Encountered it last night, and I hate it! My List is all out of whack, showing titles I haven't watched in years, and in fact, I know that I had removed from My List long ago. It's a mess, and I'm hoping someone comes up with a guide on the best way to use it because right now, I don't even want to look at it.

I just looked at it again, and it appears that My List has been rearranged to a point that somewhat resembles the order in which I added titles to the list. However, the whole UI wastes so much space unnecessarily; far more information was visible in the old UI. Bring it back!

8

u/Old_Comfortable_832 May 31 '25

The UI is awful can only see 3 options at a time on huge tv screen. Complete idiocy...the rest of the, features fine, whatever i dont care, but the selection grid is non existant and completely a waste of time to scroll through. Hopefully they aadd an option to change to "grid view" "list" etc. Because this so unusable in terms of browsing selections: im thinking Im done with it.

u/dannyosuke May 31 '25

Theres so much empty space and its so ugly wtfff

u/Excellent-Bonus1045 Jun 01 '25

It changed today for my TV i fucking hate it so much i missed the old layout and side bar so much. Netflix why ruin good things??

u/Silver_Difficulty106 Jun 03 '25

I hate this redesign. Plus it's not loading properly.  I think I'm done with Netflix. Not much on anymore. 

5

u/Ok_Fact_1938 Jun 04 '25

It’s uninviting and unnecessary. It’s somehow too much information on the screen and not enough information on the screen at the same time. I switched to a different app after 2 minutes because it takes too long to shuffle through the options now. The last thing people want to do at the end of a long day is learn something new that has no real added value. 

2

u/Natural_West4094 Jun 05 '25

You've read my mind. And I keep doing the same ... closing the app because it's painful to use. My gut says the new UI's guiding brief will have been about creating big advertising spots that can be sold. These full page show suggestions will be sold as billboards in every home, filled with pizza ads.

5

u/Accurate_Ad152 Jun 05 '25

It honestly makes me mad. It’s anxiety Inducing having every show explode in size when you roll over it.

u/Active-Equipment-744 Jun 09 '25

i hate this...i dont want netflix to tell me what to watch, its proposed movies are trash. everytime i turn it on, i see this...start looking for something, get annoyed by the UI, and just turn it off...i unsubsribed from netflix. trash is just trash.

u/ScootFisher May 30 '25

I hate that if you scroll down a few rows but then decide you want to click Movies on the very top, you have to scroll all the way to the top. The sidebar was better.

You can hit the back button on your remote to get to the top menu

Things doesn’t need to always be idiot-proof. It’s because of this if people nowdays aren’t even able to do basic computer tasks.

u/We11WorthIt Jun 12 '25

They said intuitive.

1

u/Kirutaru Jun 29 '25

They said "intuitive" and yet it was the 2nd thing I tried after pushing "up" and it not going up to the menu, but the previous 3 movies. Believe me, I'm not defending this shit show (I just discovered it tonight and I'm really pissed) ... but if "up" isn't the button, then what else would it be? The "back" button is pretty intuitive. Maybe I'm big brain. I don't know.

Yeah just figured this out

u/Groovegodiva Jun 09 '25

Literally Netflix and Prime just switched their UI. Prime used to look like this and I absolutely hated it. Now I hate Netflix. Who thought this was an even remotely ok idea?

User testing would have told them yet.

I still hate it

u/Old_Comfortable_832 Jun 01 '25

2 and half thumbnails at a time, 2 rows  and 70% of thw screen is a promo. Absokutely useless. Thankfully still have prime and max. I have no patience for bad UX.(the general rule.is " adaptive"  to screens or at least give people an option to change the grid view. Im done. I tried writing Contact and all they said was I cant revert back and .. badscally.a shrug. I dont need to revert back but im not wasting time on this BS

u/Impressive-File-2599 Jun 03 '25

I spent 30 seconds on there before switching to Disney+ it was so annoying. It’s no longer suitable for anyone who wants to scroll and decide what to watch

3

u/DiscombobulatedPop87 Jun 07 '25

Oh absolutely, it's brilliant how they took a perfectly functional UI and buried it in a labyrinth. Who needs intuitive bottom-to-top flow or muscle memory-based menu access anyway? Clearly we were all dying to relearn how to use a streaming app in 2025.

I used to go â–ș right â–ș, drop downâ–Œ slide left ◀ boom, menu❀! Now it’s like â–Čâ–Čâ–Čâ–Čâ–Čâ–Čâ–Čâ–Čâ–Čâ–Čâ–Č. I half expect a pop-up saying, “You’ve unlocked the hamburger menu! +10 XP.”

Honestly, feels like the designers spun a wheel labeled “UX regressions” and just went with whatever it landed on.

I actually might cancel my Netflix due to this change. It’s so incredibly hard to see anything, a horrific experience trying to pick something to watch, and my eyes burn after 5 seconds of scrolling because I can’t process any information this large.

Sooo upset there’s no way to revert back.

Between this incomprehensible UI and the ever increasing prices and attacks on family account sharing (if you're in different houses), it seems Netflix is trying their hardest to put themselves out of business.

Were Elon's guys tinkering with it to improve it? Mine went bizarre for awhile, I quit watching as much, then a week later it went back to normal.

u/striderhardpig Jun 03 '25

The new interface gives you very limited choice at a time. Wonder how Netflix it facilitates user.

u/Prize-Newspaper-1498 Jun 05 '25

They wanted us to spend even more time browsing less actually content per user per hour think about it.

This is so incredibly dumb and awful. Today was the first time I used it and I hate it lol

2

u/Connect-Wash4956 Jun 06 '25

Totally dislike the new UI in the TV. Really hard to search and have to scroll all the way up to change between shows and movies etc. this is much worst than disney+’s UI.

Viewers liked their UI because of how easy it was to navigate. Making it harder to do so is dumbfounding to believe it would increase viewership.

Maybe the UX/UI designer from disney did this netflix ui? Change it back and don’t make it worst @netflix!

2

u/iamcarlit0 Jun 06 '25

Its awful. Used to show a what's coming and new to netflix. Now it looks like someone with severe adhd on an adderal withdrawal has designed. Absolute POS.

u/Kitten7002 Jun 06 '25

I hate it, and since this change, the TV sometimes freezes when running Netflix, or the app just crashes.

2

u/itsjackcolton137 Jun 08 '25

To add to the badness, I'm not sure if anyone has seen this yet. But you cannot just click your remote's "back" button to open the menu. Say that you're 20 rows down looking at a movie and want to change profiles, you have to scroll all the way to the top to click it.

1

u/mjmilian Jun 18 '25

Sound like a bug, the back button should take you stright back to top menu.

2

u/CancelShot142 Jun 09 '25

Yeah new ui is broken

2

u/peachyperfect23 Jun 09 '25

I haven’t read each comment here, but it’s obv that netflix just wants to control what you watch. at least on my tv I can’t use the side arrow button anymore (to access the menu on the left and choose different cateogries). So I either have to scroll down and see what netflix wants me to see or scroll back up and see again everything they want me to see to only then get to the menu


what a shtt reality we have to live in
 can’t even control the content i wanna see đŸ€ŠđŸ»â€â™€ïž

Any fix for this? They just updated on my tv today. It's too big & hurts the eyes. Navigating was much better the previous way

u/Huge-Set5482 Jun 12 '25

Takes me like 45 minutes just to scroll sideways in the my Netflix tab. They teased this about a year and a half ago if you were a member of The insider program where you get stuff before it comes out. It suddenly disappeared for me and I was relieved but now it's back as hideous as ever

2

u/Particular_Space6433 Jun 12 '25

u/Ihatecomcastx1000 Jun 12 '25

This UI looks exactly the same from over a year ago that was pushed out to users opted in for beta stuff.

Now I have to use the search to find something to watch since it has categories on the side lol.

2

u/LouisGuidetti Jun 13 '25

It's unusable for me. It gives me a headache and stresses me out. It has become the opposite of relaxation. That's how bad this layout is. I'm actually impressed they could screw it up this bad. I like browsing and finding new shows which you cannot do here. It's so restricting and I really think it undersells what Netflix has to offer. I am going to unsub if they don't at least give us an option to switch to the old layout. They really should be listening to our feedback. I am losing my respect for them.

2

u/w0d1n90 Jun 13 '25

If you're on a Google TV, just go into setting, then apps, and select uninstall updates. Then reload and log in, and you'll be good to go.

u/mjmilian Jun 18 '25

You'll also need to stop it automatically updating to the new:

Open Google Play Store > click profile top right > settings > Auto‐update apps > change to "Don't auto-update apps"

u/Chaddhead Jun 13 '25

The new UI feels very claustrophobic. I gave up trying to watch something on Netflix and put Apple TV on instead.

2

u/pussnbootzz Jun 14 '25

Quick example why it is terrible.  I have a "my list" of favorites I want to watch that has about 80 titles I've added over time.   But I literally can only see 4 of them at a time.  So I have to click one by one for about 90 seconds to get through the entire 80 titles to find something I added but can't remember the title of.  Search is useless in that case.  You need to see your whole collection at once. 

2

u/shab5 Jun 15 '25

u/Reesyree Jul 18 '25

Any regular netflix user will HATE this.  Its designed to help "veiwers" make a decision 

Well Netflix , ta but we dont need help

The only ones possibly benefiting or liking this horrid new interface or those who are intermittent watchersand those who jump from ap to ap and your die hard netflix members are PISSED OFF and super disappointed

Is there any way we can blow up their emails or make a petition so they switch it back to how it was.

It’s so horrible and ugly. It makes me not want to watch netflix anymore. How am i supposed to figure out what i want to watch if i have to spend ages scrolling just to look at a few titles.

2

u/Names_are_limited 28d ago

It just happened to me like a week ago, it doesn’t make any sense. How could anyone think this is a good idea? A loss of content visibility and increased difficulty in browsing, wow. Are they trying to railroad subscribers into viewing specific content? Now I basically have to know what I want to watch before I turn it on. I’d cancel, but my family doesn’t want that.

4

u/Happystitcher89 May 30 '25

The coming soon, coming next week etc are all gone - that’s how stuff got added to my list when they were available! Like, thanks Netflix for making less like to watch things becuase I have no idea what’s there.

2

u/Unlucky-Film4604 Jun 01 '25

Exactly. They said go to home, find -if you can- new on netflix. But that's just shows the stuff that's been added. Not the ones coming up. So we'll have to find fan pages or something for shows that are coming

Cancel your subscription and put INTERFACE as the reason why.

u/Lance9494 Jun 04 '25

They’re just trying to implement the continue watching and up next from the Apple TV app. Because Netflix is extremely complicated and cannot allow it content to be integrated into Apple TV like every other provider does Netflix feels they need to be complicated but yet copy everyone else and their design language!

u/grapesnpretzels Jun 04 '25

Anyone figured this tv Netflix out? I went on my tv 5 mins ago and clicked movies and realised after scrolling through a few it said “movies from India” but why is it the main screen when I pick movies? I don’t mind dubbed but the whole section? Went down trice and was on games, went down again, kids programs, Netflix on my phone has stayed the same

1

u/SignificanceFun265 Jun 17 '25

This design is awful. If you go down too far, it’s a huge pain to go to the top. I’d rather switch to a different app than wait to scroll to the top. Especially since it’s slow.

Great job Netflix. I can only imagine how much they ignored user feedback when developing this trash. Tech bros for the win!

And out of all things they also removed movie categories, you have to scroll to find them instead of how it used to be where you could go to category and just pick whatever genre

u/Zyonwilson Jun 18 '25

They could have literally just changed the actual design to how it is now, but keep the layout the same. That probably wouldn’t have been a problem it’s just the design to get used to. It’s the horrible layout everyone has a problem with. Change that shit back Netflix

u/Kirutaru Jun 29 '25

Imagine you walked into Blockbuster (lol) and instead of browsing the shelves, you were forced to go to the desk where the store clerk showed you 3 movies at a time of his choosing. He based it on what he thinks you like (because he knows you so well!), but still his choosing. That's literally what this is like -- what the actual fuck. LOL

1

u/usernametaken2court Jun 30 '25

Before I could just go to the left to change to tv movies. Now I have to scroll all the way up. What a pain. Before picking a show you could swipe fast and see a lot of different choices. Now it’s slow and clunky. And the selected stealing so much screen space. It reminds me of another app I stoped subscribing to because it was so annoying to try to find something. Why can’t they just add the filtration like the web browser in the apps!!! I want to filter my shows from spoken language, so I can more easily find the ones dubbed to English!!!

1

u/MoriartyHPlus Jul 01 '25

Its made me completely stop browsing. I only look at my watchlist, and even that's ruined so I've been watching a lot more Prime.

u/80sPimpNinja Jul 03 '25

Thank you for this post! I just got the new update and can't stand it! Like someone else said, you only get to view 4 movies at a time. One big movie selection and three to the side. This makes it miserable to scroll through to find something. I have noticed that I have spent way less time on Netflix vs other streaming services since this change. I just can't take it. I hope Netflix sees that this was a bad move and reverses the change.

They raised the price astronomically and drastically reduced quality content while adding total garbage, and seriously old content claiming New on Netflix l lol.  I guess they think they can coast on their name.  They can GTFOH.  I will subscribe maybe 1 month in a year just to watch their few and far between quality shows.  It's a shame, they used to be the best.  But just like everything else, great usually goes to shit over time.

Have they made the row become so huge when browsing through it to find what to watch 😭 And the auto play is so annoying too đŸ™‚â€â†•ïž

I do like that you can go to the menu easier on tv now, instead of having to scroll back through the row to the beginning (unless I had a skill issue there)

But they make it harder and harder to find things. Sure, it is nice with some algorithms sometimes, I have found stuff I like that way. But I rather have a “recommended for you” row for that

And I thought it was annoying going to “new and upcoming” and never find new shows but only those that would soon release compared to before. It had a few it showed but it just sucked compared to before.

If I had language set to Swedish in the last ui rework, it would REFUSE to show some anime’s as well despite spelling it correctly, I had to change the language to English to be able to have them SHOW after searching. Literally not apart of the anime category until changing lang.

I thought that sucked but this.. wtf. I don’t want to go past 10 rows to find the correct category and then have to browse scrolling sideways.. just show them in boxes under the category I choose in a dropdown menu đŸ™‚â€â†•ïž

The new interface is absolutely awful. After looking this up there are thousands and thousands and thousands of people that are canceling because of this new interface and I’m gonna be canceling as well.

Just got the new UI today. What the hell were they thinking? So much harder to browse through, and a lot less options visible. Really hope they eventually realize this is a disaster and go back to the way it was, but unfortunately can’t see them admitting that.

And the worst about this change: they got rid of what is hot (top 10), new or coming soon tab.

A "live events tab" as well as the segmentation of each event (thing that they had to implement)? No... Let's make squares look like circles...

But I like this business strategy: ask more money for a worst service. lol

It literally looks like a half-assed mismatch of YouTube or something. Terrible UI change it really makes me not want to use the app anymore probably going to cancel my account after this. Because it's not enjoyable to use anymore. Luckily if you haven't updated the PlayStation app it's still the same old UI thankfully. But any of your other streaming platform like Roku and auto update so you're screwed. Also the web app seems to still be use able.
I really wonder if this is their way of cutting back on bandwidth or just actually cutting back on customers I mean they're like a billion dollar company or maybe a million who knows.

Looks like it got to the PlayStation app too F me. That's weird because I never update my PlayStation I like to know how Netflix bypass that or is it just across all their servers or some BS?

I've just received this change in my tv today and I hate it so much. It makes it feel like the library got smaller and having access to a large library is the good thing about streaming services! I don't care what's featured. I'm already a paying subscriber. Let me browse for something in interested in without having to go on a scavenger hunt!

I hate it so much, and I don’t have the option to browse shows by genre now?

Like sure Netflix will sort of filter things by genre as I scroll down, but it’s all just stuff they’re recommending to me.

I used to love discovering new shows by selecting a genre and then browsing stuff I might not normally watch.

I’m so glad I’ve found this post and I’m not the only one who hates it. It’s recently updated on my TV and is now horrible to use. Surely they will reverse this awful decision? It’s now impossible to find anything as only 4 things are visible on the screen at any one time.

I swear they’ve changed the way the watchlist is ordered too? It seems to be random rather than the most recent thing added first?

Netflix says they dont care about the vocal minority, this is how its going to be. Complaining about it, but still keeping your account is pointless. Cancel your subscription.

this suddenly happened to me. it was like Netflix was trying to be like the apps with terrible UI's. like some kind of completely misguided decision that is destined to wreak havoc on our future viewing and somehow make their content seem worse :(

Might be the right time to quit Netflix.

Yes!! The app wasn’t working for a sec (I thought it was internet issues) but after restarting the app everything was updated. I don’t hate it but I did prefer being able to see more options at once. The games are way more of a focus now. I always knew there were games but there’s so many now. Honestly, I will likely never use that but interesting change.

Was this your dad’s idea? I can’t believe someone approved this new interface.
