We have some simple yet highly effective Netflix tips to improve your viewing experience. If you are here, there is a high chance that you have been enjoying the one movie per week plan that Netflix has been treating us to for a while now.
The fact that you know that, though, does not mean that you are getting the best out of Netflix right now. In fact, due to a neat little trick called geo-blocking (more on that below), you might not even be getting all of the weekly content Netflix is putting out.
All that ends today.
Here are some Netflix tips to help you get more out of the streaming platform for this year.
Save More
This year, you can watch the same content on Netflix without having to pay more.
This is not a gimmick to game the system either but is officially supported by Netflix itself.
Go to the official Netflix pricing page for Nigeria to see what the prices are for different plans. You will see that the shared plans cost less per head. So, get family and friends that are already on the platform or new to Netflix and share a plan with them.
Get More
When you use the same login with others, there is a chance that the algorithm doesn’t work as well for you – the chances of that increase when you all do not have the same taste in movies.
Fortunately, Netflix allows you to set up as many as four (4) profiles to be used simultaneously on an account. That means everyone on the same login can have their profiles within which the algorithm works wonders in suggesting the next best content for you.
View Even More
The content on Netflix is not shown to all markets around the world.
Being in Nigeria, we know that we don’t have the best Netflix catalogue. There is also some region or language-specific content that you can lose access to if you were not in that location.
If you want access to more content, watching Netflix with a VPN would come in handy.
Most times, users set their VPNs to the US and get access to the more popular content library. However, for other market-specific pieces of content, you should switch your VPN location to the preferred market to get started.
Stay Secure
Your Netflix account is not something you want to lose.
Remember that your account could contain sensitive details such as your name, address, and even credit card details.
Fortunately, Netflix has some fine additions that you can apply to get the better out of that situation:
- Secure login – make sure to choose a secure password, not a remix of your older passwords.
- Device sign out – from the settings dashboard, you can see other devices that are logged into your Netflix account and sign out of all of them if they are not your devices.
- Password change – when you observe that someone else is sharing your account with you, change your password to a new, more secure one.
- Never go around sharing your password with everyone. Netflix is working on tracking down multiple users on one account, and that might lead to a loss of your account in the future.
Final Words
We have kept this list to the simple yet highly effective Netflix tips to get your watching experience to a new high. So apply them today and see a jump in your experience on what is arguably the biggest movie and TV show streaming platform.
