Did you get obsessed over stalker thriller You? Were you blind to all the criticisms of Birdbox and think it was the best movie in ages? Did Tidying Up with Marie Kondo change your life? Now there’s an easy way to share your Netflix discoveries with your friends.

Introduced today, Netflix has added an update that allows you to share your must-watch shows to Instagram Stories. How? It’s an easy, four-step process:

1. Navigate to any title on the iPhone Netflix app and tap share.

2. Select “Instagram Stories” from a list of apps, and be taken directly to Instagram Stories where you can play around with the title’s background art and text sticker.

After cutting his teeth on teen titles Smash Hits and TV Hits (remember them?) in the 2000s, Gavin moved into weekly magazines, working for TV Week for many years and continuing to contribute to that title to this day, and writing for Who, Woman’s Day, New Idea and OK over the past decade or so. He’s also worked for digital outlets, writing and editing for SBS, Pedestrian and Who.com.au, and has hosted and produced TV and music podcasts. Entertainment in all its forms has been Gavin’s focus, whether that be interviewing the latest eliminated contestant from Survivor; reviewing the newest films, TV series and albums; writing opinion pieces about streaming platforms and their offerings; or talking to Australian pop stars past and present about their musical journey. As a long-time freelancer, Gavin goes where the work takes him, with one hand on the remote and the other scrolling through his phone for entertainment updates.
