Auto-smooth by angle in Blender 4.1

Question

I think they switching it from Data tab to modifier? I found a modifier " Smooth by Angle" but it doesn't really work as in video, still a lot of sharp edge when at 180 angle, not sure how it work yet.
I don't think it's a big problem , just leave it here for future question if someone can't find it at Data tab.

Hi OOshiKatsuFever ,

That can be confusing, yes. You'll need to go to Object Shade Smooth and then the Modifier will work as expected.

Alternatively, there is also a checkbox to 'Ignore Sharpness' that seems to be doing the same thing (not 100% sure if that's the case in all circumstances though).

Thanks for the reply, last part of the video mentioned about " Mark sharp" and showing sharp edge, Auto-smooth with 180 degree angle , but the Modifier doesn't really work as intended, might due to how Modifier work ?
Anyway as Jonathan said, it only showing Normal and how reflect work ,don't worry about it !

The Modifier works fine, but the Object needs to be set to Shade Smooth:
