Netflix Skipping on iOS

Why does Netflix’s iOS apps only provide a 10 second rewind button? Amazon’s Prime Video app, by comparison, offers 10 seconds forward and 10 seconds back.

Don’t worry, there’s a trick to change this if you own an Apple Watch and enable a native 10 second skip forward button.

If you pull up the Now Playing app on Apple Watch, it’ll magically display a 10 second forward skip. Enjoy.
