Netflix to let you indulge in your guilty pleasures with ‘privacy mode’

Netflix is adopting the incognito/private mode of Web browsers onto its platform with a new feature. The company is reportedly testing a “privacy mode” for users who don’t want friends to know they binge watch TV shows of questionable quality. The mode won’t keep track of the things you’ve watched or use it to come up with new recommendations. According to GigaOm, the feature is currently being tested out in some markets and to a number of users. There is no word yet if this will be fully integrated into the streaming service.

Get ready to stream 'Breaking Bad' in 4K on Netflix

Netflix has previously said they had plans on streaming more 4K ultra-high definition content. The streaming service makes good on its promise and is now streaming the extremely popular TV series Breaking Bad in UHD.  All markets with Netflix can now stream the series in all its 4K glory starting today. But there is a caveat. You can only stream Breaking Bad in 4K from an Ultra HD 4K Smart TV that supports Netflix. If you have one of those, then get ready to re-immerse yourself in Walter White’s world.

House of Cards was the first series the company offered in 4K and they said they plan to stream all its original content in 4K format.

Netflix for Android supports your binge watching with new update

Watching Netflix on your Android device before wasn’t conducive for binge-watching sessions. Now, Netflix wants to support your habits with a new “post-play” feature. After each TV show episode, the app will now automatically queue up the next episode on your smartphone or tablet and start playback after 15 seconds, unless you pause or stop the app that is. Tablet users have the additional feature of getting three movie recommendations after finishing one flick.

According to Netflix, post-play will make its way to Chromecast in the coming months. However, for Android phones, tablets, and Amazon Kindle Fire devices running Android 4.0 or greater, you can download the app from Google Play now.
