The spokesperson of Netflix said that “We’re always looking for new ways to improve the Netflix mobile experience. This test is the latest example – a new timer that gives members more control over their viewing experience by simply choosing their favorite show or movie and setting a timer without having to worry about pausing it before it’s over.”

With the help of new feature, people will have the option to choose between four timer settings: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or end of whatever people are watching. When the selected time limit comes to an end, the Netflix app will stop automatically. This feature will also help users to conserve battery life on Android devices.

Currently, the test is limited to some users globally with Android devices right but Netflix have plans to bring it to other devices, such as TV sets and desktops after successful testing.
