What Is Disney+ Verts?
Verts is a vertically scrolling video feed inside the Disney+ mobile app that allows users to swipe through short clips pulled from Disney’s vast catalogue of movies and TV shows — including memorable scenes, episode highlights, and quick previews designed to spark interest in longer content.
While scrolling, users can directly add titles to their watchlist or jump straight into the full movie or episode without leaving the feed.
It’s seamless, it’s intuitive, and honestly — it’s clever.

Why Disney Is Making This Move
Disney stated that Verts is designed to make it “easier for fans to discover what to watch next,” offering “a fun, fast way to explore that catalog right from the moment users open the app” — in a format tailor-made for how fans already discover video on mobile devices.
The strategy is crystal clear: streaming services are no longer just competing with each other — they’re competing with TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts for daily screen time. Early testing of the feature reportedly showed higher user engagement, and Disney says Verts could eventually include creator content tied to popular fandoms and other interactive experiences.
The Streaming Industry Is Changing — Fast
Disney isn’t alone in this pivot. Netflix has already begun beta testing its own experimental vertical video feed that lets users scroll through clips from original films and shows.
The race to become your daily entertainment habit — not just your weekend binge — is now fully underway. And for a platform like Disney+ with its staggering catalogue spanning over 100 years of storytelling — from classic animations to the entire MCU and Star Wars universe — Verts could genuinely transform how audiences engage with that content.
The doom-scroll era has officially arrived on premium streaming. Whether that’s exciting or slightly terrifying probably depends on how strong your willpower is.
