Netflix
Discover a world of possibilities with 5 must-try Netflix features that will take your streaming experience to the next level. From customizing your recommendations to optimizing your data usage, enjoy the ultimate entertainment journey now with these features:
- Get personalized recommendations
Get personalized recommendations on Netflix as you watch movies and shows. The more you rate with ‘Thumbs’ Up or ‘Thumbs Down’, the better it understands your preferences and suggests similar content. Additionally, Netflix also provides the option of ‘Double Thumbs Up’ to fine-tune your recommendations even further, helping you get more specific recommendations based on what you love. You can also create a curated list of movies and series you want to watch in the future by adding them to 'My List'. Netflix learns from your list to provide more tailored recommendations based on your preferences.
- Utilize the search bar efficiently The search bar on the homepage works well to sort and identify content according to your demands. For example, typing in “Netflix” will locate Netflix Original titles. Additionally, you can also visit Browse by Languages on the web to search TV shows and movies by specific subtitles and audio languages as per your preference.
- Remove or hide titles from your profile
If you don’t want others to know your viewing habits, you can selectively delete or hide shows and movies in your Netflix viewing history [Learn more here].
