Netflix gives you control over what appears in your viewing experience. Whether you want to hide inappropriate content from kids or remove recommendations you're not interested in, you can hide specific titles from appearing in your Netflix library.
This feature works on a profile-by-profile basis, so when you hide a title from one profile, it remains visible in other profiles on the same account. This makes it perfect for parental controls or personal preference management.
Hide Titles Using Your Browser
You can hide specific movies and TV shows directly through the Netflix website:
- 1.Open your web browser and go to the Netflix website, then log into your account
- 2.Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner
- 3.Select "Account" from the drop-down menu
- 4.Scroll down to the "Profile & Parental Controls" section
- 5.Click on the profile where you want to hide titles
- 6.Find "Viewing Restrictions" and click "Change" next to it
- 7.Enter your Netflix password when prompted
- 8.Under "Title restrictions for [profile name]", start typing the title you want to hide
- 9.Select the title from the suggestions that appear
- 10.Click "Save" to apply your changes
To unhide titles later, return to the same section and click the "X" next to any restricted title to remove it from your hidden list.
Hide Titles Using the Netflix App
You can also manage title restrictions through the Netflix mobile app, though you'll be redirected to your browser for the actual settings:
- 1.Open the Netflix app on your iOS or Android device
- 2.Tap "More" in the bottom-right corner
- 3.Select "Account" (this opens your browser)
- 4.Choose the profile you want to modify
- 5.Tap "Viewing Restrictions" and then "Change"
- 6.Enter your password
- 7.Add titles you want to hide by typing them in the title restrictions box
- 8.Tap "Save" to confirm your changes

To unhide titles through the app, follow the same steps to access the viewing restrictions and remove titles by tapping the "X" next to them.

Why Hide Titles on Netflix
Hiding specific titles serves several purposes:
- Parental controls: Keep inappropriate content away from children's profiles
- Personal preference: Remove shows or movies you're not interested in from recommendations
- Content management: Clean up your Netflix interface by hiding titles you've already watched or don't plan to watch
Remember that hiding titles is profile-specific, so you'll need to repeat the process for each profile where you want to restrict content. This gives you granular control over what each user sees in their Netflix experience.
