How to remove Apple TV restriction passcode from Netflix?

When I set a restriction passcode on Apple TV content for my son - it is now requiring a passcode for him to get into Netflix. That passcode is the same passcode as the apple restriction passcode. How do I get the passcode removed from Netflix? Netflix is saying it's an Apple TV issue. If I take the restrictions off Apple TV, then he has access to everything. Can someone help?

Restrictions apply to a group of apps based on age, not specific apps. There is no granular control for that.


If you want to stop Netflix from requiring a passcode, then you need to adjust restrictions for apps so Netflix is not included any more. This of course will also release other apps in the same age group.


The restriction is set in Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Restrictions ➡️ Allowed Content ➡️ Apps
