Discover Hidden Features for Better Netflix Nights  

From sneaky shortcuts to personalized recommendations, these tricks will give you a whole new perspective on your favorite streaming platform. Say goodbye to endless scrolling and hello to smoother, more tailored streaming nights. Let’s dive into the secret Netflix features that will change the way you watch forever! 

1. You Can Go Back to Your Netflix Watch History 

Do you want a fresh start on Netflix? You can totally reset your viewing history and recommendations! If the same titles keep popping up, it’s time to wipe the slate clean. Just log in, head to "Account," find "Viewing Activity," and either remove shows individually or hit “Hide All.” Your Netflix will be refreshed with new suggestions! 

2. Not on Netflix? Request it!  

Did you know Netflix lets you request your favorite shows and movies? If a title’s missing, head to the Help Center, and you can suggest up to three! Introduced in 2017, this feature gives you a tiny voice in shaping the platform’s content. So, whether it’s a classic or a show you miss, now you can ask for it! 

3. Get Rid of “Are You Still Watching?” 

Tired of the annoying "Are you still watching?" pop-up ruining your binge sessions? Good news! You can disable it. Just head to your Netflix account settings, find the “Playback” menu, and turn on “Autoplay.” No more interruptions, just smooth, guilt-free streaming for those endless weekends of content consumption! 

4. You Can Talk to Netflix  

Navigating Netflix on your TV can sometimes be a struggle, especially when you're stuck typing with a remote that feels like it's from the stone-age. But don't worry, there's a neat trick you can use! If you have a Google Home, Alexa, or even a smart remote with a built-in mic, you can control your Netflix with voice commands. Just ask for the show or movie you want to watch or use voice commands to pause, rewind, or skip without fumbling with buttons. It's like Netflix magic – minus the remote stress! 

5. Enjoy Games on the Netflix Mobile App 

Netflix is no longer just for binge-watching—it’s a gaming haven too! Whether you're into action-packed adventures or tricky puzzles, you can access over 100 mobile games right from the Netflix app. Simply head to the “Games” section, choose your game, and start playing using your Netflix login. Game on, anytime!  

6. You Can Customize Your Subtitles  

In addition, the subtitles on Netflix just got a whole lot cooler! Now, you can customize your viewing experience by changing the text size, font, color, and even the background. Whether you're watching in silence or need a style upgrade, simply head to "Account" settings, adjust under "Subtitle Appearance," and enjoy real-time previews to perfect your look. 

7. My Netflix Tab  

In 2023, Netflix introduced "My Netflix" on the mobile app – a fun, personalized space that brings everything you love together in one spot! Found at the bottom of the screen next to "Home" and "Games," this tab replaces the old "Downloads" section. It shows your downloads, started shows, and rated content, plus notifications about new releases. You'll even find trailers you’ve watched and a behind-the-scenes look at your favorite shows, complete with fun articles and recommendations. It’s your Netflix world, all in one place! 

8. Reset Watch Progress  

Ever start a show, then get interrupted and never pick it up again? Netflix’s reset watch progress feature lets you start fresh! Head to "Account" settings, find "Viewing Activity," and click the slash icon next to each episode to wipe your history. It's perfect for rewatching or introducing a series without that pesky "continue watching" reminder! 

9. You Can Transfer Your Profile to Another Account  

A recent Netflix feature makes life easier for those dealing with account changes: Profile Transfer. With the rise in subscribers and Netflix’s crackdown on password sharing, users who split from family or share accounts can now move their tailored Netflix experience to a new account. Simply go to your Netflix settings, select “Transfer Profile,” and follow a few prompts to move your recommendations and watchlist within minutes. It’s the perfect way to keep your viewing experience intact when making a move! 

10. Netflix Can Be Your Personalized Coach!  

Netflix isn’t just for binge-watching anymore – it’s also your new fitness buddy! In 2023, Netflix teamed up with Nike Training Club to offer free fitness videos to subscribers. From beginner to expert, you can access 20 different programs with workouts ranging from 5 to 30 minutes, covering everything from high-intensity training to yoga. Just search for “Nike” or “Fitness” and start your workout journey with certified trainers guiding you along the way! 

11. “My List” Has Filters  

Is your "My List" a cluttered mess? Netflix has a nifty feature to help! On the mobile app, you can filter your list by categories like "Started" (for shows you're watching) or "Not Started" (for content you’ve yet to check out). You can even sort it alphabetically or by the date you added titles. No more endless scrolling! 

12. Learn Netflix Secret Codes  

Tired of scrolling through Netflix's endless content library, trying to find something unique? Unlock hidden gems with Netflix's secret codes! By typing a special code into the URL bar (like www.netflix.com/browse/genre/8711 for horror films), you can easily access specific categories. From quirky comedies to obscure genres, this little-known feature is your shortcut to discovering Netflix's best-kept secrets! Additionally, there are more than 250 codes to help you browse endless movies and shows, such as:

13. Netflix Can Recommend a Random Watch 

Can’t decide what to watch on Netflix? Let “Play Something” do the heavy lifting for you! This feature acts like a streaming shuffle button, offering random picks based on your taste. Whether you’re on your TV, phone, or computer, simply hit the button (usually on your home screen or profile) and let Netflix surprise you with a fresh suggestion—perfect for when you’re looking for something to watch while eating! 

14. You Can Enjoy Netflix Offline  

Forget about boring flights – Netflix has your back! You can now download your favorite shows and movies to watch offline, perfect for when you're flying or in a place with no Wi-Fi. No more worrying about streaming limits or buffering! Just be sure to download before you go, as some content has time limits or may not be available for offline viewing. Ready for a fun, entertainment-packed flight?
