Millions of people enjoy content on Netflix daily, however, not all of them make the most of everything this streaming platform has to offer its users.
There are some hidden features that can improve the experience when viewing series or movies on Netflix.
1. Hidden categories
One of the easiest and fastest ways to access content on Netflix is through the category function, which allows the user to navigate the platform’s content library more easily and quickly.
However, although the list of visible categories is extensive, it does not include all the options offered by the streaming service as some of them are not visible to the general public. For this reason certain codes are required to access some hidden categories .
An example of this is the code “7424” which, when typed in the search bar, returns lists of the best Anime content.
Other codes that can also be used are “47465” to watch classic westerns, as well as “48744”, to do the same but this time with war movies.
One aspect to note is that it is common for Netflix to modify these codes , which is why it is possible that after a while they will not continue to show the same result.
2. Netflix roulette
Being indecisive when choosing what to watch can be easily resolved thanks to the Netflix Roulette web portal, which automatically chooses a series or movie from the catalog to start playing it .
This function allows you to filter the results based on the genre and the rating of the production on IMDb
In addition, it also allows you to choose other streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime or HBO Max.
To use this tool, you only need to access the website, select the genre you want to search for, the type of content (series or movies) and the rating obtained. Then the last step is to click on the “spin” button, after this the page will show the name of the selected random content and will provide the option to watch it on the Netflix platform.
3. View content simultaneously
Enjoying a movie simultaneously with another person, regardless of whether they are on the other side of the world, is also possible . This can be made possible thanks to a Google Chrome extension called Netflix Party .
This function allows the user to share with his friends or family a link with which they can see the same content in a synchronized way.
In order to use Netflix Party, it is only necessary to download it from the Google application store and install it .
