Hey, this is really interesting. Yesterday, using my iPhone 6s, I signed into Netflix. There are two profiles because my husband uses it way more than I do. Yesterday, as today, I picked my profile. Then I selected home. There is an unlabeled button in the top left corner. Yesterday, I double tap that button, and it did nothing. I double tapped it more than once. It did nothing. So today, having seen this message, I went back into Netflix and repeated the same steps as yesterday. Except that this time, double tapping the button actually took me to a page that had the categories. So I double tap documentaries, one of my favorites, went down to the bottom of the page and started flicking from there. And, surprise of surprises! It actually worked. Movies that then came in to focus were visible on the bottom of the screen and could be activated with voiceover. This is really weird. I have no explanation for why it totally did not work yesterday and did this morning. I also have not yet tried it on my iPad mini. I sure hope this keeps up. It would be great. Mary
