With its huge library of contents divided into different categories based on genres like action, comedy, horror, it can be overwhelming sometimes. So in this article, we bring you five cool tips and tricks to enhance your watching experience.

1. Remove Watch History

You can know a lot about the personality of one person through their watch history. If you don’t want to reveal your viewing activity with other people who can access your Netflix account, lucky for you that there is an option to do so. To remove a movie or just one episode from your watch history, go to Account, then select Viewing Activity. Here, you can see your entire watch history.  Click on the ? icon, you will be able to delete an entry. Hiding your watching activity is also possible. All you need to do is to click on the Hide all button. With the Download all button, your viewing activity can be downloaded as a CSV file.

2. Netflix Roulette

With Netflix’s massive collection of movies, you would be confused about which movie or series to watch next. Well, Netflix Roulette can help you with that. Netflix Roulette is actually a website which gives suggestion for a TV show or a movie based on different criteria like your favorite genre, IMDB score as well as Rotten Tomatoes score. When visiting the site, from the drop-down list, you will need to choose your preferred genre, pick between TV Shows or Movies, then select Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB rating score.

3. Modify Subtitle Appearance

When you watch a movie in a foreign language, subtitles become your lifesaver. On Netflix, you can tweak subtitle’s appearance so they can be less obtrusive when shown on the screen. You can change the appearance of subtitles by going to Account, select Subtitle Appearance, then select your favorite font, text size, shadow, and background.

4. Enable Smart Downloads

With Netflix, you can do more than just downloading TV shows and movies to watch later when you are offline. Smart Downloads allows next episode to be downloaded once you are done with the previous one. And when you finish the downloaded one, the feature also automatically removes it so you won’t have to worry about storage management.

To prevent unexpected data charges, only when there is a connected Wi-Fi network, does the feature work. For Smart Downloads enabling, go to Netflix app, select Download and just turn the Smart Downloads feature on. You can also do this in the settings. Just go to More, choose App Settings, and select Smart Downloads.

The feature works in the Netflix app on iOS, Android, Windows, and Amazon Fire tablets.

5. Adding IMDb Ratings to Netflix

Many people tend to check IMDb ratings before selecting a TV show or movie to watch. Although IMDb ratings are not shown on Netflix, a Chrome extension called Enhancer for Netflix can do that for you. But before using it, you need to go to its website to sign up using your Google account. After you’re done with account creating, the IMDb ratings will show up once you open movie-streaming platform.

So, that concludes our tips and tricks for Netflix. We hope you will have a better experience binge-watching Netflix content.
