The great thing with Netflix is that it’s based on a very sophisticated suggestion system. We can easily go through personalized content without having to do too much research. On the other hand, have you already felt like you have drained all of its content or have experienced difficulty finding what you’re looking for? If so, you can make your researches more successful by using secret codes.
What are Netflix secret hidden codes?
Netflix uses codes that allow access to hidden categories. If you log in and click on “Browse”, Netflix proposes roughly fifteen categories. But, there are tons of others. With the use of codes, you can not only access these categories, but also a range of subcategories. Interesting don’t you think?
How does the code system work?
The Netflix code system is very simple to use and here’s how you can use it:
- From a browser window, log in to your Netflix profile
- Check that your browser’s toolbar indicates: www.neflix.com/browse
- Add at the end of the url the word “genre” followed by the code associated with the category you want to browse. For example, if you want to access the category “Classic Comedies”, type: www.netflix.com/browse/genre/31694
Finally, for those who are watching Netflix on their Apple TV or Android tablet and can’t access the browser’s toolbar, simply do your research on one of your devices (IPad, Smartphone, laptop) and then add the titles you want to your list. You’ll be able to access them from your Netflix application.
