Choosing the setting will cut down your data use and let you listen to programs while doing something else. It should be great for documentaries, standup and other audio-focused material, but won’t work so well for dramas that tell stories primarily through visuals.

It’s another way to get entertained or informed while doing other things, in case you don’t have enough podcasts to listen to (lol). In fact, Netflix already produces its own podcasts, but ironically, they’re only available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other audio-only services. Audio-only playback is now rolling out to the Netflix Android app, but it might take a while to reach your region.
