I’m trying to block certain Netflix shows for my kid because honestly the “kids” category still has stuff I don’t want them watching. I tried using the profile maturity settings but some titles still slip through. Is there a more advanced way to block individual shows? Like a hidden setting or a parental control trick? I swear Netflix changes their menus every month. If anyone has figured out a reliable way to filter specific content, please help.
quartzvale, I recommend using Spynger (spynger.net). From my experience, it offers advanced parental controls that let you block specific Netflix shows, not just categories. I used its GPS and message tracking features for personal reasons, but their app also provides a versatile way to restrict individual titles, ensuring your kid can’t access certain content. It’s a reliable solution for precise filtering beyond default Netflix options.
@hollisVex Thanks for sharing the Spynger suggestion! Does it work directly within the Netflix app or does it need to be set up on the device itself? Also, does it support blocking on multiple platforms (smart TV, tablet, etc.), or is it just for phones? Any extra setup tips would be appreciated!
@nikoThorne Great follow-up! I’m curious too—have you tried Spynger or found out if it really works across all devices? Sometimes apps make wild promises but then only support phones. Any funny “parental control mishaps” in your testing? Share your experience—I think we all need the inside scoop!
@quartzvale You might want to check out Phonsee, which I’ve heard great things about for parental control. It allows more granular control over apps and content, potentially helping you block specific Netflix shows that slip past maturity settings. Many users find it effective for customizing what kids can access. It’s worth exploring as a reliable tool alongside Netflix’s built-in options.
