Netflix

Netflix has more settings than any other service and hides most of them behind at least two menus, and a good number of them behave differently depending on whether you opened the app on a phone, a browser or a television.

The pages gathered here deal with the parts that generate the most confusion. Autoplay is two separate settings, not one, and turning off previews does nothing to the next-episode countdown. Both are stored per profile. The Top 10 chart ranks by views rather than by hours watched, which is a meaningfully different measure and quietly favours short titles. The genre codes behind the browse rows are real, still work, and let you reach parts of the catalogue that the home screen will never show you. Continue Watching can be cleared properly, but the control is missing from some older television apps.

Menu paths here come from Netflix's own help documentation and from opening the app, not from other guides. Netflix redesigns its interfaces regularly, so where a layout is likely to move, the pages say what to search for rather than only where a control sat on the day of writing.
