Netflix is taking a step ahead in the video streaming market by actually moving away from it. The firm has now started rolling out audio-only mode for its mobile app users. This means that users can just listen to the shows while on the go and catch up, without watching the video stream. According to a new report by Android Police, this is arriving to its Android app as a server-side update. This means you don’t really have to do anything or update the app to get this feature.

Netflix recommends you to watch its programs on big screens but it keeps updating its mobile app to bring more features to the smaller screens as well. It seems like the last report asserting an audio only mode coming to the Netflix app was correct and it is closing its release.

Folks at Android Police have shared the screenshots of the first look of this feature appearing inside the app.
