Netflix Just Released New Parental Controls
If ever was the right time for Netflix to give parents more control over their kids’ movie watching, it is now that our kids are at home watching more shows than ever. And they’ve mastered some of the basics to help make sure kids aren’t watching inappropriate content or shows you just don’t want them to see.
With Netflix’s new parental controls, you can:
- Protect individual profiles with a PIN to prevent children from using them
- Filter titles by maturity rating
- Filter out the titles of individual shows or movies that you don’t want them to watch
- Check what your child is viewing
- Disable episode autoplay and autoplay preview
Netflix also specifies that any shows or movies you block will not appear on their profile at all. So you can use “Oh, weird, Netflix must have filmed this” when needed.
To access parental controls, go to “account” and then scroll down to “profile and parental controls” on your laptop or mobile device.
