ICFLIX switches on Spotlight for iOS app

Middle East and North Africa streaming service ICFLIX has now integrated its online video application with Apple’s new iOS Spotlight technology.

The ICFLIX entertainment experience offers many titles available in high-definition and Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound where available. With the recently added Continue Watching feature, users can watch on one device and pick up where they left off on another at home or whilst on the move. Only days ago the Dubai-based service enhanced its potential subscriber base in the Middle East through a tie-up with telco Zain Bahrain.

The application is now optimised for Spotlight, a universal search feature available across all iOS 9 and iOS 10 enabled devices. ICFLIX says that allowing users to search for content right from the search bar will make it much easier to find content than ever before, saving users the time, doing the exact same thing on the home screen that users’ would have done within the application itself.

Spotlight search is revealed by swiping down with the finger on any page of the Home Screen, where users can quickly type in searches and the in-app results will display alongside Apple’s standard web search results. They can then access content directly by tapping on the desired results and launching it directly in the application.
