Netflix has launched Kids Mystery Box on its Android app. It is a new content discovery feature that lets kids find new movies and series that are suitable for their age. Let’s see how to find kid-friendly content on Netflix with this mystery box.
How to use Netflix Kids Mystery Box

3. Point at the mystery box and you will be taken to the ‘new for you’ section that displays content recommended for the kid based on his/her taste and activity.
This is not the only kid-centric feature on Netflix.
Besides Favorites, there are sections like Popular, Everyone’s Watching, Gems for you, and genre-specific content.
In 2021, Netflix also introduced ‘Kids Top 10 Row’ showing the most watched content in the user’s country, and ‘Kids Recap emails,’ to parents revealing a summary of their children’s preferences and watching habits.
