As the world goes into lockdown, many people have turned to online streaming services to pass the time. If you’ve recently subscribed to Netflix on your smartphone, you may have experienced an underlying issue of ghost touches that can disrupt your binge-watching experience.

Netflix has easy-to-use, intuitive on-screen controls that let you control your media playback with simple taps and gestures. The downside is that these controls can easily be triggered by accidental touches and taps when you might simply be trying to move your phone to get a better viewing angle.

Luckily, Netflix's new screen lock feature solves this problem by locking the on-screen controls.

This allows you to touch your smartphone screen freely without worrying about accidentally interrupting your viewing. Let’s see how to easily activate Screen Lock in Netflix on your smartphone.
