The company has slowly been releasing it worldwide to test whether it would work effectively. With some success behind its name now, the feature is being completely unveiled across all accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You won\u2019t be able to miss it, as Netflix has made sure it\u2019s very prominent. There are three main locations that the button will appear, namely, beneath your profile name, on the 10th row, and in the left navigation menu bar. If you\u2019re a picky viewer, try not to let its visibility annoy you too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Netflix Shuffle Feature \u201cPlay Something\u201d\" class=\"wp-image-166064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/0e8e23aafe267565b801c549efc1eff06d-Play-Something-Playback.2x.w710.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, you can use text-to-speech if you have a screen reader installed. Since Netflix noticed that a slow decline in subscriber growth over the last year, it\u2019s been doing everything in its power to keep the numbers flowing in. While many looked at COVID for the main reason, chances are that the rise in competitors is the real cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be that as it may, we have yet to see numbers of how many users will actually click on the new shuffle feature.
