Until now many users have been upset that Netflix bombarded them with suggestions for movies and series that they were not interested in. This could be considered by many Netflix users as a kind of spam. With so many disgruntled users requesting more customization options for their Netflix accounts and library, the platform has launched a new function that allows you to hide or delete specific series or movies so that they are not shown again..

But the benefits of this new function can be twofold, since it can be used as a 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 from them that you do not want 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, the other profiles will still be able to see it. If you want to hide a movie or series, it is really advisable to protect your Netflix profile with a PIN . This will prevent children from leaving their own restricted profile 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 shown as suggestions or that they are not accessible for your children's profile:
