How to Setup Parental Controls for Netflix

For many Netflix users the ability to add a PIN so they can ensure young children, slightly older children or teenagers cannot view content that they do not deem suitable is a feature they have needed. Netflix have responded and you can now set a PIN for different levels of content so you can safely leave your children watching Netflix knowing they cannot access content you don't want them to.

As far as I can see this can only be done via the web and not in the Android/iOS apps.

The guide below will show you how to do it.

Go to the Netflix website and login
Click on your Account Icon in the top right and select Account from the drop down menu

In Settings select Parental Controls

Enter your Netflix Password and select Continue

In the next screen select Create Pin

You will now see the levels at which a PIN can be set

If you click on the round gree dot inbetween Older Kids and Teens then any content deemed not suitable unless a teen or an adult then the content will be blocked

If you click on the green dot between Little Kids and Older Kids then content deemed unsuitable for very young kids will be blocked

Choose which level is the most suitable for your family and then add a 4 digit PIN and select Save (obviously don't use 1234)

That is a PIN now set and anyone clicking on a link to play any content falls within the age restricted zone will need to enter the 4 digit PIN you selected. These settings will apply to all profiles and will be set on your Android/iOS devices too.
