Netflix secret codes: access the hidden categories

Netflix is one of the streaming platforms with the most international presence. One of its main attractions is its extensive catalog of content, which includes a large number of its own shows and movies. This amount of content can make us take a long time to find what we are looking for. Fortunately, that is what secret codes are for.

How to access Netflix hidden categories from your mobile device

Secret codes are combinations of numbers that let us access hidden categories. When a user enters Netflix, on the front page, we find some predetermined sections, starting with our personal recommendations. Other sections include award-winning movies, retro TV, action and adventure, and more.

Additionally, the menu located at the top of the interface has a category selector, where we can find categories such as comedies, documentaries, dramas, anime, and romance. These are the most common categories.

However, the extensive Netflix catalog encompasses all kinds of content that can be classified into other categories. These additional categories are found within the hidden categories, which are slightly more detailed or less popular ones.

To access the hidden categories, simply enter the following URL in your browser: https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/[category code].

This trick is valid on smartphones and tablets, as well as on smart TV and PC, although it does not work in the Netflix app. Moreover, it can be used even if you are not subscribed to the platform.
