Netflix is a great way to keep your kids entertained, but sometimes you need to make sure that they're not watching inappropriate content. In this blog post, we will show you how to set up parental controls on Netflix so that you can rest easy knowing that your children are safe!
Should I use parental control for Netflix?
Netflix parental controls are a great way to make sure that your children are watching age-appropriate content. They can also help prevent them from accidentally stumbling across something they shouldn't be watching.
If you're not sure whether or not you should use Netflix parental controls, here are a few questions to ask yourself:
- Is there anything that I don't want my kids to watch?
- Am I worried about them seeing inappropriate content?
- Are they too young to be watching Netflix without supervision?
- Do I have any concerns about what they might be able to access if parental controls are not enabled?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then it's probably a good idea to set up parental controls on Netflix.
Can I set up parental controls on various devices differently?
When you set up Netflix parental controls for a profile, it will apply to all devices that are using that profile. So, if you want to set up different parental controls per device, you will need to create a separate profile for each device.
For example, if you create a profile for one of your children, and want to restrict the amount of time they can watch Netflix on their tablet, you will need to create a separate profile for them to watch Netflix without a restricted amount of time on the family TV. That way, the restrictions you set up on one device won't apply to the other device.

Parental controls can be set up on Netflix in a few different ways. The first way is to create a profile for each family member and then set the maturity level for each profile. The second way is to set up a Kids Experience profile. And the third way is to put a parental lock on Netflix.
