Netflix top 10 tips, tricks, hidden menus and secret features
- Be all thumbs: The power of binary choices
Netflix has streamlined its rating system, replacing stars with a simple thumbs up or thumbs down. This binary system is designed to refine recommendation algorithms and tailor content to better match your tastes.
- Play with profiles: Tailor your Netflix Universe
Set up separate profiles to keep different viewing preferences distinct. This way, your recommendations won’t be skewed by children’s content if you’re into action movies. Profiles help you customise your interface and improve your viewing experience.
- Mix and match: JustWatch and the organisational dream
Use JustWatch, an app that lets you search for shows across multiple streaming platforms. Keep track of your wishlist and get notifications when your favourite content becomes available on Netflix.
- Make a request: Have a say in Netflix content
You can suggest titles directly through Netflix’s request page. Although there’s no guarantee your suggestions will be added, it’s a way to voice your content preferences.
- Extend yourself with secret Netflix codes
Explore Netflix’s hidden sub-genres using browser extensions like FindFlix. For enhanced browsing, FlixPlus integrates Rotten Tomatoes reviews, making you a savvy binge-watcher.
- Ask a Bot: AI assistance for movie recommendations
Try AI bots like Facebook Messenger’s AndChill to get personalised movie recommendations based on your preferences. These bots offer a new way to explore movie suggestions, complete with trailers.
- Shuffle mode: Netflix roulette for effortless selections
Use Netflix Roulette to randomly suggest content based on your filters. This feature adds a fun element of chance to your viewing choices while enforcing a ‘no re-spin’ policy.
- Size it up: Managing storage space
Keep track of your downloaded content and manage storage space by adjusting video quality and removing unnecessary downloads. Understand how video quality impacts storage and make informed choices based on your device’s capacity.
- Download shows to SD card: Expanding storage options
