Netflix is taking the privacy of its users and the customization of its platform very seriously; that’s why now it allows you to hide movies and series from your library. Either because you’re tired of Netflix continually recommending the same movie or series, or you don’t want other users like your children to be able to watch a specific series or movie, now it can prevent Netflix from showing it again.

Until now, many users were upset by the fact that Netflix bombarded them with suggestions for movies and series in which they were not interested. This could be considered by many Netflix users as a kind of spam. Faced with such a number of disgruntled users requesting more customization options for their Netflix accounts and library, the platform has launched a new function that allows you to view or delete specific series or movies so that they are no longer shown.
But the benefits of this new function can be twofold, since it can be used as parental control. If you are a Netflix user in which you have created several profiles and one is for your children, now you can hide Netflix movies and series that you do not want them to see under any circumstances.
It should be noted that this configuration is specific to each profile. When you hide a title for a Netflix profile, other profiles will still be able to see it. If you want to hide any movies or series, it is really advisable to protect your Netflix profile with a PIN. This will prevent children from leaving their own profile restricted and accessing hidden movies or series from your profile.
Below we show you step by step how to hide or delete specific series from your Netflix profile so that they are no longer displayed as suggestions or that it is not accessible to your children’s profile:
