With the end of the year coming closer, any streaming aficionado is looking forward to customized reports or, in other words, overviews of the viewers’ activity. Currently, if there is any service that has put together a comprehensive resume of what users have consumed, it is Spotify’s “Wrapped” campaign. To the viewers’ surprise, there is no official Netflix equivalent to Netflixwrapped; however, third-party tools have been developed to enable the viewers themselves to create their own “Netflix Wrapped” to give the viewers more insights regarding their binging habits.
Understanding Netflix Wrapped
Wrapped is an unofficial Netflix round-up that serves as a summary of a user’s activities on the site in the past year. Just like Spotify Wrapped, this feature provides you with statistics on total minutes watched, favorite genres, most-watched shows and movies, and your top viewing days. These suggestions provide a critical view of what you are watching and can be fun and informative at the same time.
How to Create Your Own Netflix Wrapped
To generate your personalized Netflix Wrapped, follow these steps:
Access Your Netflix Viewing Activity:
- Okay, go to Netflix, given that this needs a login account.
Go over to the Viewing Activity page, which can also be accessed via Account Settings -> Profile & Parental Control -> Viewing Activity.
Download Your Viewing History:
- At the bottom of the Viewing Activity page, click the link provided.
- Go to Files -> Click on the “Download All” button to accurately export your viewing history on a new interactive .csv file.
- Usually, a file with such a title as NetflixViewingHistory.csv contains the complete list of watched content.
Utilize a Third-Party Analysis Tool:
- Head to Netflix Wrapped 2024, a Kapwing tool that many people use to create their personalized Netflix summaries.
- Import the .csv file which you downloaded from the platform.
- The tool will take in your data and spit out a full report of your viewing habits including overall watch time, favorite genres, and top actors.
Privacy Considerations
That being said, as useful as tools like Kapwing’s Netflix Wrapped are, people should remember about privacy. Kapwing also wants users to know their data is not stored on their server and is only used to create the report. But, the principle worth remembering at all times is to refrain from sharing personal data with other services. Make sure that the platform is credible and that you are okay with how your data is being managed in the company.
Alternative Methods
If you prefer not to use third-party tools, you can manually review your viewing history:
Analyze the .csv File:
- Right click the copied folder, select New/Excel workbook, this will open a new excel workbook and paste the data copied from .csv file.
- Filter the data to bring out some of the habits, like, for example, most watched genres or directors.
Use Personal-Stats.com:
- Another option is Netflix Wrapped of Personal-Stats.com, which is similar to the service that reveals the viewing statistics.
Conclusion
Although Netflix doesn’t have an actual “Wrapped” feature, many third-party applications like Netflix Wrapped 2024 can create a user’s viewing summary. In the following part, I will offer some guide to provide you with a better way to improve your streaming options and invite you to recall what kind of entertainment experience your streaming service has brought to you in the past year. There is always the necessity to keep your personal information private when sharing it with external services.
