Netflix is now allowing users to share clips of their favorite shows and movies. The streaming giant has essentially introduced a new feature called Moments, but it is limited to the mobile app.

Netflix subscribers can share clips of their favorite content

Netflix is still one of the largest streaming companies. Hence, there are many shows, documentaries, and movies that continue to resonate with its subscribers. Netflix is now rolling out a new feature that allows users to relive moments from their favorite content.

The newly introduced “Moments” feature is similar to the Clips feature on YouTube and Twitch. It lets subscribers save, share and easily rewatch certain scenes from shows and movies.

Netflix has had sharing features for quite some time. There are hundreds of thousands of clips from Netflix floating around on multiple social media platforms. With the Moments feature, Netflix might be trying to boost engagement among its core audience.

Netflix announced the feature via a dedicated blog post. “Moments will hopefully expand in the future, offering even more ways for members to use and enjoy the feature,” the streaming giant announced.

How to use the Moments feature in the Netflix app?

Netflix has launched the Moments feature on its mobile app. Moreover, only Apple iPhone users will be able to use the feature for now. Android smartphone users will have to wait for a few days. Netflix hasn’t indicated if the new feature will make its way to smart TVs.

Netflix has assured that using the Moments feature is as easy as tapping on the smartphone screen. Whenever subscribers see a scene that they want to save or share, they just need to tap the Moments button at the top of the screen. The Netflix app will save a short snippet to the My Netflix tab.

Users will be able to jump back to Moments on your phone whenever they like. Netflix has indicated that episodes and films will start playing from bookmarked scenes when subscribers rewatch them.

The My Netflix tab could also be helpful to share content from Netflix on social media platforms. Even while creating a Moment, the Netflix app will allow users to share the bookmarked content on social media platforms or in messages. With Moments, Netflix has reportedly added an easy way to help users revisit favorite scenes and share them with friends

The wait is finally over. Apple Intelligence is making its proper debut with the public releases of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 today. Typically, point-one versions of Apple operating systems add minor features and fix bugs, but this year it brings a major update since Apple Intelligence features weren’t quite ready in time for the rollout of iOS 18. Considering the new iPhone 16 series was touted as “built for Apple Intelligence,” but launched without the features they were built for, this release has been long in the making. Those with older devices are likely to find iOS 18.1 to be less dramatic of an update, since the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are the only previous-generation iPhones that will support Apple Intelligence.

You’ll know you can use Apple Intelligence when you get a notification from the company. The initial generative AI features you can check out include writing tools like proofreading and rewriting, as well as text summaries.

There are live transcriptions available for phone calls and audio in the Notes app. Apple can helpfully generate summaries of these transcriptions. In addition, Apple can reorganize your photos and videos around memorable events such as trips and special events in the overhauled Photos app. You can create your own Memories in the app as well.

The beginnings of a Siri overhaul are here too. You can now type requests and questions to the previously voice-only assistant. If you still prefer speaking to it, Siri should be able to understand requests if you stutter or interrupt yourself. The Siri UI has been tweaked, as you’ll see a glowing border around the screen when you activate it. However, you’ll need to wait a bit longer for other Siri-driven features, such as the assistant’s ability to have a better understanding of your personal context.

Apple Intelligence on iPhone

Apple Intelligence is currently available on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 16 lineup. M-series iPads and Macs also support Apple Intelligence, as does the new A17 Pro-powered iPad mini.

Bear in mind that access is currently limited to those who set their device and Siri language set to US English. Apple Intelligence will start to become available in more countries and languages in December. Apple doesn’t plan to broadly offer the AI tools in the European Union or Chinese mainland right away due to regulatory issues, though as of September it was in talks with officials in both markets to make Apple Intelligence available there.

In addition to Apple Intelligence, iOS 18.1 adds support for other new features, such as a hearing test and the ability to use AirPods Pro as over-the-counter hearing aids. It should be easier to change the mail email address that’s linked to your Apple Account as well.

You’ll need to wait a bit longer for other promised Apple Intelligence features. The company released the iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2 and macOS Sequoia 15.2 developer betas last week. Along with additional writing tools, the betas include Genmoji (a custom emoji generator), Image Playground (animated- and illustrated-style image generation), the Google Lens-like Visual Intelligence and ChatGPT integration.

Apple Intelligence availability around the world

As for those who want to use Apple Intelligence in other countries and languages, Apple says that it is adding support for localized English in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the UK in December. A bigger update in April will expand language support beyond English — Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Vietnamese are among the new languages that’ll be supported. Apple also says that unspecified “other languages” will be added, as well.

How to update your iPhone to iOS 18.1

2. Tap “Software Update.”

3. Your phone will load the latest software update available. From there, you can either tap “update now” or “update tonight.”

4. Enter your iPhone’s passcode to start the update.

Update, October 28 2024, 12:15PM ET: This story was updated with notes on how to update your iPhone to iOS 18.1.

Nearly five years after COVID-19 ground the world to a halt, the global supply chain still hasn’t fully recovered. Specialty industries like space travel were particularly hard hit, given the impossibility of heading down to the corner to pick up spare rocket parts.

Industries began taking a long, hard look at 3D printing as a solution to such woes. What additive manufacturing lacks in scale, it makes up for both in terms of creating specialty parts and decentralizing a manufacturing industry that is highly concentrated in a handful of locations across the globe.

Solideon co-founder and CEO Oluseun Taiwo saw firsthand the havoc such global events can wreak on the space industry. He was employed as a propulsion engineer in the additive manufacturing division of Virgin Orbit in May 2020, when the company failed to launch its LauncherOne rocket. Virgin Orbit’s journey ended in May 2023.

“What I saw at that time was, if we had a localized way to manufacturer and didn’t have to rely on the global supply chain during a global pandemic, the company would have done better,” Taiwo tells TechCrunch. “There was this hard thing of needing to build something like 30 rockets a year for the business model to work. We were doing maybe three a year, which was never good enough.”

Taiwo left Virgin Orbit in 2021 to work for 3D printing stalwart 3D Systems in 2021, before founding Solideon at Techstars the following year. The Bay Area-based rocket-printing service has raised $6.5 million in funding to date. It’s just a start, given the firm’s celestial ambitions. Solideon presented onstage today as part of the Startup Battlefield 20 at Disrupt SF.

“What we really do is build robots for deployable microfactories that help 3D-print and assemble large aerospace structures and products,” says Taiwo.

“The reason that matters is you can decentralize manufacturing and actually get closer to building an entire product without any human intervention in the loop. Our long-term goal is to do that anywhere in the solar system at any point.”

Manufacturing for space in space is still a ways off, naturally. In the meantime, the company is focused on solving more immediate-term problems, with an eye on defense contracts. Taiwo notes that the U.S. Defense Department is currently in the process of auditing its own supply chain, in anticipation of further disruption — be it a natural disaster or global conflict.

“The Navy is having the issue with very expensive assets,” he says. “The short term is to go help them solve that problem. The medium term that we’re more focused on is the smaller, autonomous, attributable systems. That’s where we’re seeing the biggest play for technology like this. Building a microfactory that’s very mobile that operates close to where the changing landscape of the conflict is and being able to adapt appropriately.”
