AV1 is a next-gen video codec developed to replace the VP9 standard by the Alliance for Open Media, with founding members including Google, Netflix, Amazon, and other prominent content providers.
Netflix emphasizes their plan to roll out AV1 content on all their platforms. The company notes that this codec is well-suited for mobile platforms as mobile networks can be unreliable, and their customers may have limited data plans. The increased compression performance results in relatively lower data consumption, making the integration of the AV1 standard into the mobile app a sensible move.
Netflix now utilizes the AV1 codec for streaming content on its Android app

Netflix reveals that their AV1 codec 'utilizes the dav1d open-source decoder developed by the Videolan, VLC, and FFmpeg communities, and is sponsored by the Alliance for Open Media'. The company mentions optimizing the decoder to stream Netflix's 10-bit color content. Netflix is also working to 'further optimize 10-bit performance' to enhance all applications using the codec.
Currently, streaming with AV1 is limited to selected titles. Users wanting to try AV1 content or reduce mobile data usage can do so by enabling the Save Data feature in the app. With the gradual adoption of this video codec, both hardware-level and contributor-driven improvements, it will be interesting to see how AV1 will replace VP9, or even HEVC/H.265 in the future.
