Disney+ to Add Mobile Vertical Clip Feed in 2026 Rollout

The mobile feed will surface curated vertical clips from across Disney’s catalog to speed discovery without turning the service into a social network.

Overview

  • Disney announced at CES 2026 that it is building a vertical, scrollable clip feed for its mobile app to accelerate content discovery.
  • The feed will feature short scenes from movies, series, documentaries, and sports, with one-tap options to start the full title or save it.
  • Personalized recommendations will shape each user’s clip stream, aiming to reduce decision fatigue by letting moments drive viewing choices.
  • Disney describes the feature as editorial and discovery-focused with no user-generated content, comments, or social interactions.
  • Deployment will be progressive throughout 2026 with no firm global launch date, with some reports suggesting availability toward late 2026 and drawing on lessons from ESPN’s Verts format.
