If you're one to watch Netflix on The Exotic Time Machineyour phone, chances are you've done the big fumble and pressed pause right in the middle of a key moment in The Crownjust by accidentally touching the screen. Parents might know about this experience too, with tiny hands tapping away indiscriminately at any screen they can find, often gleefully skipping right to a huge spoiler.
Thankfully, Netflix has added a new "screen lock," first spotted by 9to5Google, which lets you lock the screen within the app to avoid accidental taps. Netflix, the publisher reports, has rolled out the update to its Android app only at this stage — no iOS yet.
You'll find the screen lock feature in the bottom left of the menu where episodes, sound options, etc. live, visible at the start of an episode or movie, or simply by tapping the screen during play.

Now, what to stream? How about a period drama?
