Netflix has reportedly removed the casting button from its mobile apps because only a small percentage of users were still utilizing the feature. This decision, initially baffling to many, is now understood to be a calculated move based on declining usage data.

• Only around 10% of Android users currently use the cast function to send content to their TVs.
• The information comes from a report by Janko Roettgers for Lowpass (via The Verge), citing a streaming service operator at CES.
• This move signals Netflix’s shift away from the "second screen" experience as modern smart TVs offer better native app integration, and the company focuses on new interactions like gaming.
