Quibi is a newly launched [mobile-first](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discord-video-quests)—and mobile-exclusive—streaming service that's all about sharing "quick bites." The experience is designed around sharing movie-quality shows on a phone, and the content that's shared on the platform is specifically framed to fit a phone screen. On the app, users can access [original content](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moviepad) and ever-updated Daily Essentials from news networks to keep them in the loop.

A monthly subscription with ads will cost members $4.99 monthly, although there's also an ad-free experience that's available for $7.99 per month. All content, including the ads, is designed for the modern consumer, which means that many shows are short in length—about 10 minutes or less—and are easy to consume on the go.
