Discover a faster way to search for Netflix titles
At first, did you know that there are hidden categories on Netflix that can be accessed from specific codes added in the streaming URL?
That way, when using these codes, it's like you have a faster way to access specific categories of Netflix movies, series and documentaries.
But why use the codes if Netflix already makes the categories available on the platform? In short, the codes allow you to access very specific categories, such as Independent Romance Films.
That way, it's easier to find that title you really want to watch or marathon on your weekend! So, to know these codes and how they work, just keep reading this post!
How to use codes to unlock hidden categories on Netflix?
First of all, it is important to consider that these codes that the tool has are not hidden on purpose.
In fact, they were created in order to better organize the titles that the streaming platform has.
That way, it's easier to find specific options that Netflix makes available to its subscribers.
But, before you start using the codes, it's important that you know more about them and check out the public list of over 200 categories that have already been discovered by users!
What are the hidden category codes on Netflix and how do they work?
In summary, the streaming codes are intended to show the hidden categories on Netflix, that is, those that the platform does not have within it for users to browse.
Namely, the reason Netflix keeps them “hidden” is simply to make the platform's interface easier and more intuitive to navigate.
Therefore, if all the tool's categories were shown to people, it would be more difficult to navigate through the portal and find the titles.
In this way, by making them available only in specific codes, it is easier for the user to browse the streaming and allows Netflix to organize all titles in the way it prefers in its internal system.
So, to use these codes, you just need to copy and paste it at the end of the platform URL like in this example: netflix.com/browse/genre/XXXX
This is already the normal Netflix browsing address, but it needs to have /genre/ before the code to show the hidden category. So, in place of XXXX, you add the code.
Therefore, it is important to emphasize that it is not possible to access the categories from smartphones, tablets or TVs.
These categories are only shown in the internet browser, because you have to put the code in the URL of the browser.
