This can cause you to skip an important part of a scene or even skip an episode.
To protect you from accidentally pressing a control button, Netflix has implemented a screen-lock feature.
This should make it a lot harder to accidentally press a button.
Screen lock is available on both Android and iOS but is not supported on other platforms.
Screen lock is designed to prevent you from accidentally using the Netflix controls.
To use screen lock, open a video on Netflix, then tap on the lock icon.
On Android, the lock icon is second from the left under the progress bar.
Tapping the screen will reveal a lock icon rather than the normal controls.
The process for enabling and disabling screen lock is identical on both iOS and Android.
