Here are some essential tips, hidden menus, and secret features to unlock the full potential of your Netflix subscription:

Refine Your Recommendations

Utilise the thumbs up and thumbs down rating system to fine-tune your recommendations and ensure Netflix suggests content that aligns with your preferences.

Expand Your Search  Beyond Netflix

Leverage apps like JustWatch to search for specific shows and movies across various streaming services, track your watchlist, and receive notifications when desired content arrives on Netflix.

Make Your Voice Heard

Submit requests for titles you'd like to see added to Netflix's library. While not guaranteed, your suggestion could influence future content acquisitions.

Uncover Hidden Genres

Explore Netflix's secret sub-genres using browser extensions like FindFlix or enhance your browsing experience with FlixPlus, which integrates Rotten Tomatoes reviews.

Let AI Be Your Guide

Utilise AI-powered bots like Facebook Messenger's AndChill for tailored movie recommendations based on your preferences, complete with trailers for easy previewing.

Embrace the Unknown  with Shuffle Mode

Engage Netflix Roulette to receive random content suggestions based on your chosen filters, adding a touch of spontaneity to your viewing choices.

Optimise Your Download Management

Monitor your downloaded content and manage storage space by adjusting video quality and deleting unnecessary downloads, optimising your device's capacity.

Maximise Storage for Android Users

For Android users, explore options for downloading shows directly to an SD card, effectively increasing your offline viewing capacity.

Control Access Without Sharing Passwords

Utilise the AccessURL Chrome extension to create shareable links with expiration dates, providing temporary access to your Netflix account without revealing your password.
