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.

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 ► right ►, drop down▼ slide left ◀︎ boom, menu❤️! Now it’s like ▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲. 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.
