We do that but sit next to each other and you know, talk

    Why talk when you both are already looking at your phones?

    I mean, why waste the limited time I have a day with my SO by scrolling together through an endless list of movies and shows. Both of us have the attention span of a beagle, so sporadically swiping through a list during the workday would actually be preferable.

    For me it wouldn't be about avoiding conflict, just a way to remember something that I would otherwise forget as soon as we started looking for something to watch.

    See, my wife and I will go back and forth, checking various streaming services and vetoing each other's picks for the full duration of movie night.

    Now when she asks what I want to watch, my first reply is always, "Literally anything except the Netflix menu."

    We discuss the options and often end up talking about something else. So even scrolling through options is nice together time. Unless the actual goal was to see a movie, then that method isn't that great lol

    Also this app literally exists anyway, I'm pretty sure it even existed when this was posted.

    There's a few I'm going to go with handshake that someone posted further down the one I remember was called something like movieflix

    No idea why you'd be downvoted for that but thanks!

    Edit... Either I'm finding the wrong apps or neither of those ones do the thing.

    I think there a talk app you can use to talk with your partner.

    Do they have gamified aspects and perhaps a lootbox style system? "You had a 7 day streak in talking to your significant other. Here's two relationship tokens"

    If you say the right things, you get to loot your partners box.
