NETFLIX has surprised some users with a 'shuffle' button that chooses something to watch for indecisive viewers.<\/p>\n
Testing for this feature actually began last year and now it seems more users have been given a chance to try it.<\/p>\n
Netflix told the New York Post that this surprise rollout was just a second round of testing for the feature.<\/p>\n
Like with all tested features, we don't yet know if the 'Random Play' button will be considered popular and successful enough to be rolled out to all forms of Netflix.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest the shuffle button is now showing up for both TV shows and films.<\/p>\n
Previously, it was only said to be appearing as a 'Random Episode' button when users were already watching a TV series.<\/p>\n

This feature would be very useful for fans of any TV series they've watched multiple times and want to watch again.<\/p>\n
Or it could be used if you just want Netflix on in the background whilst you're doing other things.<\/p>\n
It may even stop arguments about what film you should watch.<\/p>\n
At the moment, the button is appearing for some Netflix users on Samsung and Fire TVs.<\/p>\n
However, it's not said to be featured on Apple TV or via Amazon Firestick.<\/p>\n
Netflix fans have taken to Twitter to applaud the feature and a lot of people who don't have it seem to wish they did.<\/p>\n
