Once the feature rolls out to global users, you will find the new “Shuffle Play” button on the home screen of the platform, right beneath your profile avatar. Initially, Netflix had decided to name the button “Play Something”. However, theychanged it to “Shuffle Play”for now. Although it can change to something more appropriate by the time it rolls out for the masses.

Now, as per the testing reports, clicking this button will start a random movie or a TV show which the platform’s algorithm sees fit based on your taste. This could include an unfinished movie you were watching, something from your watchlist, or a movie that’s similar to something you have already watched.

Moreover, another version of this button has been discovered inside Netflix’s TV app in some regions.
