Netflix for iOS Updated With 3D Touch Support, iPad Pro Optimization

by

Netflix today updated its iOS app to add support for Apple's latest devices, the iPhone 6s and the iPad Pro. The app now includes a layout that's been optimized for the 12.9-inch screen of the iPad Pro for an improved look that offers more content at a glance.

3D Touch support is available in the form of Peek and Pop gestures, providing more information about movies and television shows from the main browsing screen. 3D Touch support does not extend to Home screen Quick Actions.

WHAT THE F%*^. Still no picture in picture. It's been 9 months including beta. Your the number one streaming app and don't support the headline feature of iOS 9

Gosh! It's honestly the main reason I got an iPad Air 2 over my iPad 4.

Maybe pip is a problem with iOS and not Netflix.

My 3 year old Note 3.

That seems like split-screen and not PiP.

And split-screen and PiP options are offered by iOS now (at least for iPads) so it's up to the app developers to take advantage of them.

You want to watch two Netflix shows on the same screen?
Pip lets you keep the video playing in a small box while you use other apps.

I just YouTube in safari and request desktop mode and use PiP that way. Seems to work okay. The biggest concern is it seems to take a little longer to load videos.

I wish Netflix would have added it in this update.
