You can’t make any changes until you’re logged in, so first things first: Use your credentials and log into your account, either from a web browser or on the Netflix app. 

After you’re logged in, click on any profile — at this point it doesn’t matter whether it’s the one you want to restrict or not. Click the drop-down arrow next to the profile icon. From the menu, select the “Account” option. 

You’ll now see a page with your account billing, planning, and security details. Scroll down to the section titled “Profile & Parental controls.” You’ll now see all the profiles associated with your plans. At this point, it is time to select the dropdown button next to the profile you want to add restrictions to.

Next to the “Viewing restrictions” option, select “Change.” Upon selecting, you’ll be prompted to enter your Netflix account password. 

After entering your password, you can select and apply maturity ratings ranging from Y-7 to NC-17. Once you select a limit, Netflix will only generate content that is of that rating and lower for the corresponding profile. 

There’s also an option to enter a title of a movie or TV show you want Netflix to restrict, regardless of the maturity rating. This might be a good option if you just want you or your child to avoid seeing specific content rather than general content with a specific rating.

Once you’ve finished setting the restrictions, press save. If you want to make any changes, simply repeat the above process.
