Running seems like a cheap sport—you just need shoes!—until you actually go shoe shopping. The right footwear can make or break your experience. They can also break your budget; even the most basic models are well over $100 new. (That being said, keep in mind that the most expensive shoe isn’t necessarily the best for you.)

Of course, you can search for deals at any time—there’s usually something being discounted no matter when you look. But if you want a specific shoe on sale, it’s worth watching the schedule of new releases. And the ultimate hack: New shoe models tend to be introduced in the spring, making right now an excellent time to snag discontinued models.

Spring is the best time to buy running shoes

Just like cars, running shoes come in a make (Asics), model (Gel Nimbus) and, well, there is usually a number at the end of the name instead of a model year: Asics Gel Nimbus 27. Shoes are updated every year or two, depending on the model; the long-running Nike Pegasus is up to version 41.

And just as with cars, you can often snag a deal at the end of the model year when sellers get rid of their old stock to make room for the newcomers. You can follow websites like Runner’s World or Sole Review to check out which models are being updated and when they are scheduled to launch. But an even simpler way to keep up on shoe seasons is just to check the “new arrivals” section on your local running store’s website, or sign up for their newsletter.

For example, since that Asics Gel Nimbus 27 was released this year at $165, you can bet that the Asics Gel Nimbus 26 is available much more cheaply. At the time of this writing, most of the color/size combinations are going for around $110—that’s more than a 30% discount.

That’s a pretty typical bargain, but you can do even better if you shop around—and if you don’t mind choosing your shoes based on the cheapest price rather than the prettiest colors.

That issue of selection is a good reason to shop now rather than waiting. As the summer wears on, you may find deeper discounts on last year’s model, but you’ll also have fewer options. Sizes sell out, too. Here’s a perfect example: the Asics Gel Nimbus 25 (that’s two models back) is going for just $99.95. The catch is that you have to wear the “cream/fawn” design, since that’s the only color option I could find available.

Save money by buying these models

There are too many running shoes to list all the deals, but I’d like to highlight some prime examples where a shoe was recently released, causing the previous version to go for a much cheaper price. (Release dates below are based on what companies or publications announced earlier this spring, and may or may not be the actual release date. You get the idea, though.)

• The Hoka Clifton 10 was released in March for $150, and you can now find the Hoka Clifton 9 for $94.25 (women’s, men’s).

• The Brooks Glycerin 22 was released in February for $165, and the Brooks Glycerin 21 is now available for $105.60 (men’s) and $98 (women’s).

• The Brooks Ghost 17 was released in May for $150, and the Brooks Ghost 16 is now available for $109.95 (women’s, men’s)

But beware shoes that are too old

If you’re going to shop discontinued models, there are a few pitfalls you should know about. One is that the foam in a pair of shoes will degrade while it sits on the shelf. This isn’t a problem if you’re buying a model that was just discontinued—those should be fine. But if you find shoes that are two or three model numbers back, they probably won’t last as long as new ones. (The price might still make them worthwhile even with the shortened lifespan, but consider yourself warned.)

The same concern applies if you’re buying last year’s model as a backup and planning to stash it in your closet until your current shoes break down. Consider how long it will be until you actually use the shoes, and decide accordingly. While you’re at it, apply the same logic to any gently-used shoes you might find on eBay or Poshmark.

Samsung just announced a new live stream for the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge. The company initially teased the phone at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event back in January, but details are still slim on the upcoming device.

How to stream Samsung ‘Beyond Slim’ (and reserve your phone)

Samsung’s “Beyond Slim” live stream for the “slimmest Galaxy S Series ever” will air on May 12 at 8 p.m. ET (May 13 at 9 a.m. KST). You’ll be able to watch the event via Samsung’s website or on the company’s YouTube channel, which you can find below:

If you are excited to get your hands on the new Galaxy S25 Edge, you can reserve the new phone from Samsung’s website. In return, you’ll get a $50 credit you can use on the Samsung store.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge rumored specs

While official details about the Galaxy S25 Edge are still under wraps, that hasn’t slowed the speculation. The Galaxy S25 Edge could be just 5.84mm thick. (For comparison, the standard Galaxy S25 is 7.2mm thick.) Leaks suggest that Samsung is putting a 3,900 mAh battery in the S25 Edge’s slim design, which makes it the smallest battery in the Galaxy S25 lineup.

Like the rest of the Galaxy S25 series, the Galaxy S25 Edge will presumably run the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip with up to 12GB of RAM. The phone could also have a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. For cameras, leaks suggest the phone will be packing a dual-lens setup, which includes a 200MP main lens and a 12MP ultrawide.

Rumored pricing for the Galaxy S25 Edge suggest the phone will cost between the Galaxy S25+ ($999) and the Galaxy S25 Ultra ($1,299), but we’ll have to wait for confirmation at the live stream next week.

While a lot of May gardening is dedicated to moving plants into the ground, there is still plenty of seeding to be done. Inside, I’m starting late-planted vegetables like cucumbers, and a second round of annual flowers, like stock and celosia. Outside, I’m beginning to direct seed vegetables like corn and beans, and annuals like sunflowers. It’s important to remember to stay on top of your succession planting during this busy time. And finally, there’s no better time to start, reseed, or overseed your eco lawn.

Lawns

Take advantage of the last of the rains to help germinate your eco lawn or clover lawn. You don’t have to convert your whole yard, either, if you’re anxious about it. Carve out a smaller area to seed with clover to try it. Ideally, you’re not creating a monoculture of one kind of seed, so other low lying flowers can be added in like yarrow, English daisy, and multiple types of clover. I add traditional clover for winter coverage, and red and strawberry clover for the summer to get pops of color.

Annual flowers

In most parts of the U.S., you’ll start to get enough sunshine this month to direct seed outside, which just means you’ll plant the seeds in the soil, rather than try to grow seedlings inside to plant outside later. If you’re going to try to direct-seed annuals like wildflowers, they can start going in the ground as soon as you’ve reasonably passed the risk of frost. Pay attention to the packet for instructions as to the depth of seeds—many seeds cannot germinate by simply being sprinkled on top of the soil; they need cover of soil. Your sunflower seeds, for instance, need a depth of an inch or so. A good basic rule is that seeds need to be planted as deep as their size. So tiny seeds like celosia are ok to be sowed on the surface, but marigolds and zinnia must be planted about half an inch deep. If you want to scatter the seeds to get a more natural look rather than poke holes for the seeds, scratch up an area so there’s soil contact for the seeds, then scatter them and cover them by sprinkling soil on top and patting it down. Finish by watering. 

Remember that summer is finite, so if you haven’t planted annual flower starts and you want to direct seed, you’ll want to do so before the end of May—although you may succession-seed another round of flowers later this summer, like zinnias or sunflowers. Consider ideas like a flower wall, or a row of sunflowers at the edge of the property or garden to define the area.

Direct sown vegetables

While some people direct sow vegetables like tomatoes and peppers outside, for most of the U.S., the summer is simply too short to do so and get a reasonable yield of fruit. This is why people buy vegetable starts at the nursery. Some vegetables, though, are fast-growing and prefer not to have their roots disturbed, so seeding them in the garden is a fine idea, and now is the time to do so.

There’s almost no reason to start beans inside; they grow quickly and have shallow roots, so they are best seeded outside. Remember that beans are either bush type or vine type, and both need support, but vining beans can grow ten to twelve feet tall: Strong support will be needed, as beans can easily pull a trellis down.

Cucumbers are ideal to start outside, particularly cucamelons (Mexican sour gherkins, which have become quite popular the last few years). They germinate within a few weeks and prefer not to have their roots disturbed. You can succession plant your cucumbers, so put another round of seeds in the ground in a few weeks. Cucumbers can crawl on the dirt, but you’ll get better use of space and cleaner cucumbers if you use a trellis designed for them.

Pumpkins and squash are fine to seed in the dirt. Pumpkins benefit from a hilling process. A popular way to do this is to dump a bucket or two of compost into a pile, creating a hill, and then place two or three pumpkin seeds in each hill. If these are giant pumpkins, you’ll thin the seedlings to one, but for regular size pumpkins, you can have two seedlings. I’ve also had tremendous success growing pie pumpkins or mini pumpkins on an arch, so the pumpkins hang down. I’ll be doing that again this summer with black and white pumpkins.

Most squash will germinate quickly, and while you can pick up summer squash and zucchini starts, you have plenty of time to grow from seed in most climates. Give it a try this summer.

Corn should always be direct seeded. It is easy to germinate, and it grows fast. Make sure you’re planting corn in blocks of four by four feet, so there’s enough corn to pollinate itself. Corn grows tassels, which are pollinated by the wind, so unless you have a big enough block of corn stalks, you won’t get corn. Don’t try to grow a short row or a few plants; you need a substantial block of plants.

Melons are similar to squash and cucumbers and can be direct sown outside—but remember that melons and those cucurbits can cross pollinate, so don’t plant them close together or you’ll end up with Franken-squash, a common garden occurrence.

Succession seeding

Be sure to take advantage of the last spring rain to germinate additional rounds of carrots. Since they need constant moisture during germination, the rain can carry the load here. This time of year, I leave the radish, lettuce, green onion, beet, and kohlrabi seeds outside in a protected spot so I’ll remember to seed them once a week. You don’t need to put out a packet’s worth each week, just the number that you’ll eat. It helps to mark rows as you go so you don’t plant in a spot you’ve already seeded. 

My favorite tip for having a summers’ worth of lettuce is to direct seed a long, low trough planter of lettuce, but you can just pick a corner of a planting bed. Dump the whole packet of seeds in and be sure to mix it with the top layer of soil so it’s distributed evenly. Water the area and as the seeds germinate, you’ll have a planter packed with lettuce. But if it’s too packed, it won’t grow much, so each week, I grab a scoop from the end of the planter, separate those seedlings, and plant them out in the garden beds. The planter acts as a holding space for lettuce most of the summer, and each week I pluck out a few to plant. 

Seeding inside

There are still seedlings I grow inside this time of year, despite the abundant sunshine because growing inside means less exposure to predators like squirrels, birds, and rabbits, and I can control the atmosphere. If it’s a particularly bad year for slugs, for instance, I may choose to grow cucumbers inside as starts. Sometimes I grow them in both locations so I can sub a start in if a cucumber plant gets eaten.

I also grow a second round of flowers inside, like stock and celosia. These are delicate seeds that benefit from a lot of attention, so I find growing them inside in a controlled environment is easier. Then I can place the grown starts precisely where I want them.

(Washington, D.C., May 7, 2025) – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins today held the inaugural Farmers First roundtable at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Secretary Rollins hosted Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen, the Board of Directors for the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA), and over 20 farmers and ranchers from 11 states who run smaller-scale, independent, family-owned operations.

Finding great travel deals is a skill, but it’s one that can be honed—if you know where to source a bargain, can be patient and flexible, and if you know you can take advantage of the 24-hour free federal cancelation policy to lock in a time-sensitive opportunity.

Here are some of the best travel websites you can use to snag your next trip on the cheap.

Use Skyscanner to find the cheapest flights

Yes, Google Flights is more user-friendly and has cool features (like the “explore” tool to see a map of your potential destinations and their prices), but if you mean business and are looking for the cheapest flight options you can find, Skyscanner is what you want to use. Here, you’ll find flights that will not even appear on Google Flights, and it even has an explore-like tool similar to Google’s where you simply input your local airport, select “whole month” for dates, and click “search” to find all the possible low-cost destinations for that month (I found a direct flight to Cancun from my home in Atlanta for $183).

You can catch last-minute flight deals and set alerts for cheap flights as well.

Use SecretFlying to set up alerts for their “Error Fares”

Airlines make mistakes sometimes, and as a savvy traveler, you need to be ready to take advantage of them when you can. SecretFlying is a travel deal website that works like many others, but it also has a special tool to find cheap flights that exist because of mistakes that airlines make. (For example, there was an enticing Chicago to London round-trip for only $58 last month.) The error fares go fast, and many might not logistically work for you, but if you ever do catch one of these, you’ll be bragging about it for years to come.

Use the Travel Arrow extension

If you’re still only using Google Flights to do your searching, you could be missing out on some cheaper options. Travel Arrow is an extension you can install on your browser that will cross-reference your Google Flight info on Skyscanner, Kayak, Trip, and Expedia (all the major competitors to Google Flights). While it doesn’t always work, it’s a free tool that will more than pay for itself if you ever end up booking a cheaper flight with it. Keep in mind that some flights might be cheaper because their layovers are longer.

Use these online vacation package websites

There are many websites that sell you travel packages that include flights, hotels, food, tours, and even transportation (rails, bus, taxis, etc.) for much cheaper than you would find if you tried to book each piece individually. The catch is that these packages are typically strict on dates, and their cancelation policies are often less forgiving. But, you’ll be able to find amazing deals to locations you might not otherwise be able to afford.

Gate1, for example, has been around since the ’80s—my mom has used it with my dad to visit the eight wonders of the world on a budget over the years. Their best deals come from their weekly specials (you can sign up for their emails) and last-minute deals where you can find multi-day trips for big discounts.

For example, you can do a 13-day Thailand trip for $2,249 with all this included:

• Roundtrip flights Los Angeles to Bangkok, or Bangkok to Los Angeles

• Intra-flight Chiang Mai to Bangkok

• 11 nights First Class accommodations

• Hotel taxes, fees, service charges, and porterage

• 18 meals: 11 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 4 dinners

• Sightseeing per itinerary in modern air-conditioned motor coach

• Services of English-speaking tour manager throughout

• Entrance fees per itinerary

Here are some other websites similar to Gate1 where you can find great deals on packages for your next trip:

• TravelPirates

• Great Value Vacations

• Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights)

Wordle became an instant classic almost as soon as it launched, but its simplicity is also the source of a new problem: what to play when you’ve already guessed the day’s word? Fortunately, the years since Wordle’s appearance have blessed us with dozens of other guessing games that borrowed one or more of Wordle’s features—five-letter solutions, or yellow and green squares, or sometimes just the concept of guessing and getting hints to narrow down the possibilities. Here are 14 of the best.

Waffle

Let’s start out the list with a cute and friendly game. Waffle puts six different five-letter words in a grid, and you solve it simply by moving the squares around. It’s tricky to get the job done in the given number of swaps, but you’re never going to be too perplexed—all the letters you need are right in front of you.

Flagle

I was torn on whether to award the geographical spot on the list to Flagle, which uses country flags, or Worldle, which gives you the outline of the country. When I was first compiling this list, I went with Flagle because there used to be two ways to win: In addition to narrowing down the location of the country, you can also reveal tiles of the country’s flag. Unfortunately, Flagle has removed the feature that tells you how far away you guessed in terms of distance, so it’s now just a flag-based game. They’re still both great.

Hurdle

This is probably the last friendly, straightforward game you’ll see on this list, so enjoy it while it lasts. Hurdle gives you five Wordle-style puzzles each day. You have to solve each to get the next, and then the fifth puzzle gets pre-filled with the four previous solutions as guesses, leaving you just two chances to win the final round.

Absurdle

Absurdle gets its name because its premise is entirely absurd—and man, does it follow through. The secret word you’re guessing changes to evade your guesses. Its one nod to sportsmanship is that it will abide by its previous hints—so if it tells you that the word contains an R as the first letter, the solution will have an R, but everything else is subject to change. Succeeding at this game means backing the algorithm into a corner until it only has one option left; only then will it admit you won.

Heardle

Heardle is the modern version of Name That Tune!, a game show where participants had to identify a song based on just the first few notes. The songs in Heardle are taken from popular playlists, so it’s also a good litmus test for your own pop culture relevance.

Squabble

In Squabble, we have our first competitive Wordle. (We’ll meet another in a minute.) If you think you’re good at guessing words, you now get the chance to prove it against friends or strangers in real time. Guessing wrong subtracts health from your little meter; guessing correctly refills it. The game continues, going to multiple words if needed, until all but one player has been eliminated. This game isn’t as popular as it once was, so you may wait a while to find enough players for a game with online strangers, but you can still create a game and share the lobby code with your friends for instant fun.

Mordle

If you like Squabble, try the massively multiplayer Mordle. Games can have up to 100 players, but gameplay is simpler because you don’t have to watch their game boards or battle them directly. Just attempt to solve the puzzle yourself, as fast as you can, and find out how many people got to the correct solution before or after you.

Quordle and other multi-Wordles

When Dordle (the double Wordle) first came on the scene, it seemed nightmarish; you’re supposed to solve two Wordles with the same guesses?! But with practice, it’s not hard at all. And so it escalated from there. Quordle is the sweet spot, in my opinion; four is the perfect number of puzzles to solve at once. But Octordle is also fun, and so are Sedecordle and Duotrigordle. Multi-Wordles appear daunting at first, but with so many grids, almost any guess is going to give you a useful hint somewhere.

Antiwordle

Antiwordle is probably the most hellish of all the games on this list, and that’s saying something. The rules are the same as the rules for regular Wordle played on hard mode (where you’re required to reuse correct letter guesses). But the whole idea is that you’re trying to not guess the word. Once you get it right, you lose.

Semantle

Word games are, for the most part, games for good spellers. If you can recognize the patterns letters commonly appear in, you’re at an advantage. So if you’ve ever wondered why word games don’t ask you to guess the approximate meaning of a word, Semantle is for you. It’s tough to even begin narrowing it down, but once you do, just aim for words with similar meanings to arrive at the answer.

WordAll

Any time you get your green and yellow squares in response to a guess, what the game is really doing is defining and redefining a pool of words that the solution must be in. (All the words that have an E in the second position and a T in them somewhere other than the third, let’s say.) WordAll gives you a half-played game, pauses it there, and asks you to name all the words in that pool. It’s a fun brain exercise, and will probably make you a more strategic Wordle player.

Artle

We’ll back away from words for this one, an art-themed game that shows you snippets of works, all created by the same artist. It’s called Artle, and it will probably teach you things you didn’t know about your favorite artists—and help you discover new ones.

Squardle

If you thought Waffle was cute, Squardle is its evil twin. It’s another crossword-style guessing game, but this time you have to type all your guesses in. That doesn’t sound so bad, until you start trying to make sense of the hints. Each square contains color-coded information about how the letter you guessed fits into the words of the puzzle. Like Microsoft’s Clippy, something intended to be helpful quickly turns confusing and frustrating. Winning this game requires you to use the those hints without letting their proliferation distract you.

Redactle

One word at a time? Six words at a time? Redactle scoffs at all that. It gives you an entire Wikipedia article with most of the words blacked out, in the style of censored government documents. Your job is to guess words; when you guess correctly, those words are revealed in the article. Solving the puzzle means correctly guessing the title of the article—which could be about anything from a historical figure to a mathematical concept.

If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone, you’ll soon be able to send money to friends and family instantly simply by tapping your devices together. A new peer-to-peer payment feature transfers funds from debit cards in your Samsung Wallet to those stored in a recipient’s digital wallet or their physical tap-to-pay card.

The feature will be available to Samsung Wallet users in the U.S. later this month.

How Samsung Wallet ‘Tap to Transfer’ works

Samsung’s new “Tap to Transfer” feature utilizes NFC technology to connect to debit cards in any digital wallet, meaning you can send cash even if the recipient uses a different third-party app (like Apple Wallet or Google Wallet) or only has a physical debit card. Alternatively, you can transfer money to other Samsung Wallet users by searching for their phone number if they aren’t nearby to tap.

There are a few benefits to Tap to Transfer. First, it doesn’t require everyone to use the same peer-to-peer payment service like Venmo or Cash App, making it easier in situations like splitting dinner bills to move money around to all members of the group and eliminating the hassle of signing up for a new app. It also deposits funds to linked bank accounts in minutes (depending on the bank), so you don’t have to wait days or pay fees for instant transfers. (Note that the debit card in your Samsung Wallet must be a Visa or Mastercard for this feature to work.)

Samsung Wallet, like Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, allows users to store everything from payment cards and IDs to loyalty cards and digital keys to concert tickets and boarding passes. Apple also has a peer-to-peer payment feature called Tap to Cash, but both users must have compatible iOS or watchOS devices with Apple Cash already set up.

On average, Americans spend $77 each month (or $924 annually) on subscriptions, according to a recent survey. But how many of those subscriptions are really adding value to our lives, and how many are set to autopay and simply slip through the cracks every month? From streaming entertainment and fitness apps to meal delivery kits and software tools, if you’re not sure what you’re spending every month on subscriptions, it’s time for a personal audit.

Why you need to audit your subscriptions

While subscription services offer convenience, they can silently drain your bank account when left unchecked. There’s a reason why auto-renewal subscription payments are referred to as “evergreen.” At the end of either a monthly or annual subscription term, these services renew automatically unless you choose to cancel. Of course, this is why they’re so hard to track. If you stop using the service, you tend to forget the service exists and not notice the charges adding up.

Plus, it’s all too easy to fall victim to a free trial trap. Many services lure customers with free trials that automatically convert to paid subscriptions. Companies count on you forgetting to cancel before the trial ends, turning your momentary interest into a recurring expense.

Even if you’re selective on your end, subscription services frequently raise their prices after you’ve become dependent on them. These increases might seem small individually, but they add up across multiple services.

How to conduct a subscription audit

Sure, you can download a dedicated subscription tracking service. These apps connect to your bank accounts and automatically identify your subscription services, which you can then track on a custom dashboard. But remember that many of these apps are tiered and additional services might charge you a monthly fee, which makes them… yet another autopay subscription service. Here’s how to conduct an audit on your own, for free.

Track down all your subscriptions

The first step is to identify recurring charges on your credit card, debit card, or online banking accounts. Set aside an hour to list all of your monthly and annual subscription expenses for the past year. Don’t recognize a few of them? Or maybe there’s a service you like but rarely use? Go ahead and cancel those. Create a calendar reminder for yourself to do this every month or so if you really want to stay on top of it.

Some charges might not be easy to pin down, so you need to play detective using the following steps:

• Review the last three months of credit card and bank statements

• Check your email for subscription confirmations and receipts

• Look through your app store subscriptions (Apple App Store, Google Play)

• Check payment services like PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App

• Review your Amazon recurring orders and subscriptions

Don’t forget annual subscriptions that might not appear in recent statements.

Create a subscription tracker

Now it’s time for a spreadsheet. For each subscription, document:

• Service name

• Monthly/annual cost

• Billing date

• Last time you used the service

• Whether it’s essential or non-essential

This visual representation helps you understand your total subscription spending and identify potential cuts.

Evaluate each subscription’s value

Assuming you’re not going full scorched-earth, you’ll need to evaluate each subscription to see if it makes the cut. Ask yourself these questions for each service:

• When was the last time I used this?

• Does this subscription save me money compared to pay-per-use?

• Could I downgrade to a cheaper tier?

• Is there a free alternative that would work nearly as well?

• Does this subscription meaningfully improve my life?

Be honest about which services truly add value, versus those you keep out of habit or inertia.

Take action: Cancel, pause, or negotiate

For services you decide to keep:

• Mark renewal dates on your calendar

• Look for annual payment options that might offer discounts

• Contact customer service to negotiate better rates

For those you don’t need:

• Cancel immediately (don’t wait until the next billing cycle)

• Take screenshots of cancellation confirmations

• Remove payment information when possible

The bottom line

Think about it like this: Even cutting just $50 in monthly subscriptions saves $600 annually. I recommend implementing an ongoing system. Schedule quarterly subscription audits on your calendar, enable notifications for all subscription charges, and even consider a dedicated credit card for subscriptions to easily track spending.

Take an hour this weekend to audit your subscriptions. Your future self (and bank account) will thank you.

Netflix is rolling out a redesign to its TV app, which subscribers will see beginning on May 19. The update is intended to make it easier to find and choose content you actually want to watch rather than endlessly scrolling through the service’s library.

What’s new on the Netflix TV app

When your Netflix interface updates, you’ll find the navigation bar always visible at the top of the screen. There are shortcuts to Search, Shows, Movies, Games, and My Netflix, and a centralized hub for Continue Watching, My List, and Remind Me. The back button on your remote will take you directly to the navigation bar.

Tiles for each piece of content will be much larger and show title details—such as whether it was recently added (or is leaving soon) or has won awards, as well as the synopsis, runtime, and key cast members—up front. The app will also provide more responsive recommendations in real time as you browse based on trailers you watch, titles you thumbs up or down, and searches. Netflix will also highlight live events at the top of the home screen.

The new features are rolling out globally to most TVs and TV streaming devices over the course of a few weeks, so if you don’t see it on May 19, it’s likely coming soon.

Netflix is also refreshing the mobile app experience, with a vertical video feed of clips and trailers. Users can tap to watch the full version of the show or movie, add it to My List, or share it. The company has been testing an OpenAI-powered feature on iOS that provides recommendations based on conversational phrases describing your mood, so you can search for content using terms other than specific titles, actors, and genres. Initially available only to select users in Australia and New Zealand, this will roll out as an opt-in beta more widely this week.
