The Netflix feature that lets you share your favorite scenes comes to Android
Several months ago, Netflix made it easier to watch your favorite moments again and again and share them with friends. With the new "Moments" feature, you can quickly bookmark a scene while watching on your phone. At first, this was only available on iOS, but now it's available on Android too.
Here's how it works: tap "Moments" in the bottom left corner when you're watching on the mobile app, and the scene will save directly to your My Netflix tab to find later.

You can share your scene on WhatsApp, Snapchat, Messenger, Instagram, or even as a link. When your recipient clicks on your link, they'll jump right to the scene you saved (provided they have an account of course). You can share moments in real-time as you're watching or from your saved tab.
Many of Netflix's most popular scenes end up on short-form video sites like TikTok or YouTube Shorts, so it seems like the company is trying to keep those eyeballs on its own platform.
But it's not clear exactly how many moments you can save.

In a statement to The Verge, a Netflix representative said the number of moments you can save depends on the length of the content. However, according to Netflix, "There's plenty of space to save your favorite "Moments," and most members won't need to worry about a limit when it comes to saving across multiple shows and movies."
Considering the "moment" is just a link to a certain point in a show and you're not actually downloading anything, there shouldn't be much of a limit at all. Netflix didn't say if the feature would let you clip anything on the platform or only moments from Netflix's original content.
