22 Netflix Hacks You Should Know – You Deserve It!



Netflix is one of the best streaming platforms out there, but did you know there are hidden features, secret tricks, and little-known settings that can improve your experience? Whether you want to find hidden categories, improve video quality, or get better recommendations, these 22 Netflix hacks will change the way you binge-watch.


1. Use Hidden Netflix Categories

Netflix has a secret list of genres that you won’t find on the homepage. Just enter this URL in your browser:
👉 www.netflix.com/browse/genre/[CODE]
Replace [CODE] with numbers like:

  • 1365 – Action & Adventure
  • 43040 – Classic Comedies
  • 67879 – Korean Dramas

Find more codes with a quick search for "Netflix secret codes."


2. Download Shows for Offline Viewing

Going on a trip? Save your favorite shows and movies to watch without WiFi. Just tap the download button on the Netflix app.


3. Remove "Continue Watching" Clutter

If you started a show but don’t want to finish it, remove it from your “Continue Watching” list:

  1. Go to Account Settings
  2. Click on Viewing Activity
  3. Click the hide icon next to the title

4. Use Keyboard Shortcuts for Faster Control

  • Spacebar – Play/Pause
  • F – Full Screen
  • M – Mute
  • Up/Down Arrow – Adjust volume
  • Shift + Right Arrow – Fast forward

5. Watch Netflix with Friends Online

Use the Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party) extension to sync your show with friends and chat while watching together.


6. Change Video Quality to Save Data

If you're streaming on mobile and want to save data, adjust the quality:

  1. Go to App Settings
  2. Click Video Playback
  3. Choose Low, Medium, or High

Instead of scrolling endlessly, check websites like Rotten Tomatoes or IMDb to find the best-rated Netflix content.

Go to Settings > Subtitle Appearance to change the size, font, and color of your subtitles for easier reading.


9. Use a VPN to Unlock More Content

13. Enable Smart Downloads

Netflix automatically downloads the next episode of your show and deletes the ones you’ve finished to save space. Enable it in App Settings.

If you have a 4K TV, make sure you’re getting the best quality:

On iOS and Android, press and hold the Netflix app icon to quickly jump to "Continue Watching" or "Search."

17. Try Netflix's "Play Something" Button

Not sure what to watch? Click “Play Something”, and Netflix will pick a show based on your history.


18. Watch in a Floating Window on PC

If you’re multitasking, use Picture-in-Picture mode:

  • Chrome users: Use the "Picture-in-Picture" extension
  • Windows users: Press Windows + G and select Netflix

19. Use Netflix Roulette to Pick a Show

Visit flixroulette.net to randomly select a show based on genre, rating, and actor.

  2. Click Sign Out of All Devices

21. Get Notifications for New Content
