With new mobile feature "Moments," users can send clips from their favorite Netflix shows and movies. The streaming giant launched the global option for iOS devices Monday ahead of its Android debut in the coming weeks.

Whether it's a scene from "Outer Banks" or "Love Is Blind," subscribers can seamlessly share Moments across various social media platforms like Facebook and X, formerly Twitter.

"Moments" also allows users to bookmark moments they hope to return to later, according to a Netflix news release.

With the new Netflix update, users can tap the "Moments" button at the bottom of their screen to save the scene to their "My Netflix" tab.

To send Moments users can select a scene and click an arrow icon to share through social media, text messaging or to just copy the link. Users also have the option to delete the moment they captured.

"Sharing Moments on Instagram, Facebook, and other social platforms is just as easy. You can share a Moment as you create it or, from the My Netflix tab, you can select a scene and tap to share it across all of your platforms," the streamer said in a news release.

Netflix dropped its ad campaign "It’s So Good" Monday featuring several stars, including Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B.

The promotional video comprises several references to plots and scenes from popular Netflix titles like "Squid Game," "Stranger Things" and "Bridgerton" that are all "so good."

"Breaking Bad" actor Giancarlo Esposito emphasizes his obsession of Jenna Ortega's "Wednesday" dance, which he masterfully replicates in the commercial.

The platform said it plans to add more features to make it easier to watch and send over content.
