The four game-changing Netflix hacks no one knows – including HIDDEN menu
NETFLIX is filled with secret features that allow you to get even more out of your viewing experience.
The streaming giant has 222million subscribers worldwide and most of them are unaware of the extras hidden under the bonnet.
So why not try some of these hacks out to take your TV shows and movies to the next level.
Stop auto-play TV episodes
If you’re partial to nodding off during a show, auto-play can make finding your spot a bit of a nightmare.
But there is a way you can kill the feature once and for all.
From a PC or web browser, go to the drop-down menu in the top right corner and select Account.
Choose your profile and click Playback settings.
Untick Autoplay next episode in a series on all devices, then Save.
Get the highest quality every time
Netflix’s video quality is set to Auto by default and will adjust based on your connection.
It’s also designed to prevent you from gobbling up all your data on a smartphone too.
If this isn’t a concern for you and you want the absolute best quality every time, just go to settings menu, followed by Account.
Choose your profile and click Playback settings.
Tick High.
Find Netflix’s secret menu
Netflix has a secret menu tucked away that most people are unaware of.
It’s mainly meant for techy people but you can tweak buffering settings.
You can unlock it from a smart TV or console by firstly resetting your Netflix app.
Then, simply relaunch the app and using your controller or remote key in the following:
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up.
