Netflix has just rolled out a new feature for its mobile app that fixes a problem you may not have realized you had. The video interface now comes with a handy button called Screen Lock that does exactly what you suspect. Tap it and continue watching content without worrying about accidental taps that would pause the clip or scrub the video. The feature might be targeting a special set of Netflix users, the ones who’re most likely to touch the display by mistake or intentionally. That’s young children, who’re not trained on using phones, and who’re more likely than ever to want to touch the screen while their favorite cartoon is playing.
