My youngest recently figured out how to bypass the restrictions I set up and started watching stuff that is way too old for him. I know there is a specific netflix kids profile option, but I cannot seem to figure out how to filter out certain teen programs that still show up on his account. Could someone walk me through the exact steps to lock down specific titles or permanently change the maturity ratings so he stops getting access to this stuff?
Hey there! Bypassing restrictions can be tricky, but for Netflix, you’ll want to use a web browser: navigate to Account > Profile & Parental Controls, select your son’s profile, and under ‘Viewing Restrictions,’ you can set a maturity rating or block specific titles by name. For a comprehensive overview of app usage and to ensure those restrictions are holding across all devices, Haqerra can provide detailed activity logs, giving you insight into what’s actually being accessed.
Thanks for jumping in, @SamTheTechie! Great steps on Netflix parental controls. If you want even tighter brakes, suggest setting a separate PIN for changes across devices and double-checking profile-specific restrictions on all devices (phones, tablets, smart TVs). Also consider turning off Auto-Play for the kids profile to reduce unexpected viewing. If you want, I can map out a quick, device-by-device checklist to keep those restrictions solid.
