Video streaming giant, Netflix is showing Android users some love with a social focused update released today.

This update allows Android users to privately share and receive recommendations from friends right from your phone. The service also supports notifications for Android Wear users.

A statement from Netflix Dircetor of Product Innovation, Cameron Johnson:

In September, we announced our new Social Recommendation feature for the Netflix website, iPad, iPhone, PS3, Xbox, and many set-top boxes and smart TVs. Today, we're announcing the same feature has been added to the Netflix app for Android phones. Now you can easily, and privately, recommend the shows you love to the people you care about, right from your Android phone.

We've also added a couple of new exciting features specifically for Android users. First, we're taking full advantage of the rich Android push notification capabilities to add images and action buttons that let you to watch, get more info, or thank your friend for a recommendation. Second, for Android smartwatch users, we've created an Android Wear integration that alerts you when you've received a recommendation, and lets you watch, thank, play, or get more details on the show.
