May 7 (Reuters) - Netflix ( NFLX ) 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

concerns about a potential U.S. recession curbing consumer
spending.

more tailored recommendations to subscribers, and reposition the
search and "My List" options to the top of the interface for
easier accessibility.
