(Reuters) -Netflix said on Wednesday it plans to revamp its TV app interface and introduce generative AI to the iOS mobile platform, allowing users to ask for content in natural and everyday language.
The updates arrive as the streaming giant seeks to maintain and expand its market share amid growing uncertainties and concerns about a potential U.S. recession curbing consumer spending.
Netflix is planning to redesign its TV app homepage, provide more tailored recommendations to subscribers, and reposition the search and "My List" options to the top of the interface for easier accessibility.
In addition, Netflix is preparing to roll out upgrades to its mobile experience in the coming weeks, with plans to test a vertical feed showcasing clips of shows and movies, allowing users to tap to watch the full version.
The AI-infused search option for mobile users will allow members to search for content using natural, conversational phrases like "I want something funny and upbeat".

Tennis-Gauff moves fast to ease Spike Lee's NBA pain
Tennis - French Open - Roland Garros, Paris, France - June 7, 2025 Film director Spike Lee with his wife Tonya Lewis Lee are seen in the stands during the women's singles final between Coco Gauff of the U.S. and Belarus' Aryna Sabalenka REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes PARIS (Reuters) -When Coco Gauff saw that Spike Lee was attending her French Open final against Aryna Sabalenka, she felt she could cheer up the American film director after the recent NBA heartbreak suffered by his beloved New York Knicks. Gauff upset world number one Sabalenka 6-7(5) 6-2 6-4 on Saturday to win her second Grand Slam singles title. "It was honestly the first time I really met him up close," Gauff told a press conference. Having spotted Lee watching her in previous matches, including at the U.S. Open, Gauff was thrilled to see him courtside again during the warm-up against Sabalenka. "I was like, 'Oh my gosh, Spike Lee is there'," she said. "I thought, if I win this match, the first person I'm going to see is Spike Lee." And she did, making a beeline for Lee to share a joyful celebration despite the Knicks' painful loss in the NBA's Eastern Conference finals last week. "I wanted to tell him that even though the Knicks didn't win, I gave him something to cheer for," Gauff said. (Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by Ed Osmond)

UK and India discuss 'counter-terrorism' cooperation after Pakistan ceasefire
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy reacts as he speaks during an interview with Reuters at the British High Commissioner Residence in New Delhi, India, June 7, 2025. REUTERS/Anushree Fadnavis NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Britain and India on Saturday discussed expanding their "counter-terrorism" collaboration following recent fighting between India and Pakistan, Britain's foreign minister told Reuters after meeting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. British foreign minister David Lammy is the highest-profile Western official to have visited both New Delhi and Islamabad since the South Asian neighbours agreed to a ceasefire last month after their worst fighting in nearly three decades. The latest tensions began in April after the killing of 26 men in Indian Kashmir that New Delhi blamed on "terrorists" backed by Pakistan, a charge Islamabad denied. India then attacked what it called "terrorist infrastructure" in Pakistan, leading to escalation from both sides until a May 10 ceasefire. "We want the situation to be maintained, but of course we recognise fragility, particularly in the backdrop of terrorism, terrorism designed to destabilise India," Lammy said in an interview at the residence of the British High Commissioner in New Delhi. "We are keen to continue to work with our Indian partners on counter-terrorism measures." He said he discussed the next steps with both Modi and Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar, but gave no specifics. Last year, India and Britain discussed combating the financing of terrorism, cooperation between law enforcement and judicial bodies and information sharing. Lammy said he also discussed boosting trade between the world's fifth and sixth largest economies. The countries concluded talks for a free trade deal early last month. "I know that Prime Minister Keir Starmer is very much looking forward to coming to India very soon to sign the free trade agreement," Lammy said. "There is so much that our two nations can continue to do together." (Reporting by Krishna N. Das in New Delhi. Editing by Mark Potter)

Milei meets Pope Leo, confirms visit to Argentina

Vatican Media/Mario Tomassetti/Handout via REUTERS ATTENTION EDITORS - THIS IMAGE WAS PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY. BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -Argentina's President Javier Milei held his first official audience with Pope Leo at the Vatican on Saturday where he confirmed that the pontiff will visit the South American country, according to the presidential spokesman. No further details of the planned visit were disclosed on Saturday. Milei had a tense relationship with Pope Francis, the late Argentine pope who never returned to his native country during his 12-year papacy, potentially signaling the start of a new diplomatic chapter. "The Pope confirmed to the President during our recent meeting that he will visit Argentina," Manuel Adorni, the presidential spokesperson wrote via social media. The papal visit could take place as soon as next year, according to Argentina's daily newspaper La Nación, as part of a tour that would include stops in Uruguay and Peru, where Leo, the first U.S. pope,resided for nearly 20 years. Milei, a libertarian and ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, was not present at the inauguration ceremony of the new head of the Catholic Church due to local legislative elections he was required to attend. Discussions between the two parties on Saturday were described as "cordial" and addressed issues of "common interest such as socioeconomic progress, the fight against poverty, and the commitment to social cohesion, in addition to addressing ongoing conflicts," the Vatican later said in a statement. Milei met Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Friday in Rome as part of his visit, where an agreement between Italian energy group Eni and Argentina's state-owned energy firm YPF was signed.
