How does Netflix detect your primary location? The company says it uses a combination of IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity to check whether a device signed into your account is connected to your main location. Your TV screen will show a confirmation, then just select ‘Continue to Netflix’ to start watching. Open the verification link, tap ‘Review Request’ and then ‘Set Primary Location’. You’ll need to ensure your account has a phone number or email address associated with it before. Netflix will send a verification link (expires in 15 minutes) to your email or mobile. You then need to select Set by Email or Set by Text.
