Kid switches to my profile to watch TV-MA shows. How to block shows on amazon prime so they don’t even appear in search for any profile?

Hello! A common issue is kids bypassing their profiles. While you can’t completely hide shows from Amazon’s search results, you can effectively block access.

The best solution is to set a PIN on your adult profile. Go to Prime Video settings > Parental Controls. Here, you can set a 5-digit PIN that will be required to switch to your profile or make purchases.

Additionally, you can set viewing restrictions on your own profile. For example, require the PIN for any content rated Teen and above. This ensures that even if your child accesses your profile, they still can’t watch restricted content, providing robust control over what’s viewed on your account.

Short answer: you can’t make TV‑MA titles disappear from search on Prime Video globally. Your best bet is to lock down the adult profile and the device, and keep your kid in a Kids profile.

Do this:

  • Prime Video PIN + viewing limits: Prime Video app/website > Profile icon > Account & Settings > Parental Controls. Set Viewing Restrictions to the desired age, apply to all devices, and require PIN for higher ratings and purchases.
  • Lock the device:
    • Fire TV/Fire tablet: Settings > Preferences > Parental Controls > On. Set rating limits, enable PIN for restricted content and app launches. Use Amazon Kids (child profile) so they can’t exit without a PIN.
    • Other TVs/consoles: use the TV’s parental controls to restrict app launches or mature ratings.
  • Reduce temptation: leave the device signed into the Kids profile; require the PIN to switch or play anything above the allowed rating.

Use Prime Video’s built-in controls so TV-MA titles don’t show up and can’t play even if they switch profiles:

  • Web: primevideo.com > Profile > Account & Settings > Parental Controls > Viewing Restrictions. Set max rating (e.g., PG-13), create a PIN, and enable “Hide restricted titles in search and browse.” Apply to all devices.

  • Fire TV/TV apps: Settings > Parental Controls. Require the PIN for restricted content and profile changes. If your app lacks profile lock, the PIN still blocks playback.

  • Clean history: Account & Settings > Watch History > Delete items and clear “Continue watching” to purge adult suggestions.

  • Extra: On Android tablets/phones, you can also block or schedule the Prime Video app. Tools like mSpy provide app blocking, app-usage logs, and alerts if they try other streaming apps.

Short answer: you can’t fully remove TV‑MA titles from Prime Video search. The reliable workaround is to stop profile switching and block playback.

Do this:

  • Lock adult profiles: Prime Video > Profiles > Manage Profiles > Profile Lock (set a PIN). If available on your device, enable “Require PIN to switch profiles.”
  • Set viewing restrictions: primevideo.com/settings > Parental Controls. Set the highest allowed rating (e.g., Teen) and require the Prime Video PIN for playback and purchases on all devices.
  • Use device-level controls to hide/filter content:
    • Fire TV: Settings > Preferences > Parental Controls > On. Set content rating limits for Prime Video; this can hide or lock Mature titles in browse/search.
    • iOS: Settings > Screen Time > Content Restrictions (limit TV/Movies ratings).
    • Android: Family Link > Controls > Content restrictions.
  • Reduce recommendations: Account & Settings > Watch History > Delete, and mark unwanted titles as “Not interested.”

This combo keeps TV‑MA from playing and makes it much harder to find.

Short answer: you can’t globally remove TV‑MA titles from search on an adult profile in Prime Video. The reliable setup is to force your kid into a Kids/Teen profile and lock every non‑kids profile behind a PIN, then add viewing restrictions and device-level locks. Do this:

  1. Create and use a Kids profile on their devices
  • Prime Video app > My Stuff > Profiles > Add New > Kids profile. Pick the correct age range (Little Kids, Older Kids, Teens). TV‑MA/R content won’t appear in search/results on Kids profiles.
  1. Set a Prime Video PIN and lock profile switching
  • Web: primevideo.com > Account & Settings > Parental Controls > set a Prime Video PIN.
  • Lock adult/teen profiles: My Stuff > Profiles > Manage Profiles > choose your adult profile > turn on Profile Lock (PIN required to switch into it). Repeat for any non‑kids profile.
  • Tip: Leave only the Kids profile accessible on the TVs/streamers your child uses.
  1. Add viewing restrictions by rating (to hide/lock mature content)
  • primevideo.com > Account & Settings > Parental Controls > Viewing Restrictions.
  • Choose the highest rating you’ll allow (e.g., 13+). Apply to every TV/phone/tablet your child uses. Above-limit titles are hidden on Kids profiles and show as locked elsewhere.
  1. Lock things at the device level so they can’t bypass
  • Fire TV/Stick: Settings > Preferences > Parental Controls > On. Set your PIN, set Viewing Restrictions, and require the PIN for profile changes and app launches.
  • Fire tablet: Use Amazon Kids. Only age-appropriate content appears; exiting Amazon Kids requires your PIN.
  • Smart TVs (Samsung/LG/etc.): Use the TV’s App Lock to PIN‑protect the Prime Video app on any shared device that also has your adult profile.
  • iPhone/iPad: Settings > Screen Time > App Limits or Always Allowed to control Prime Video access on your device.
  • Android: Google Family Link to restrict app access on shared Android devices.
  1. Clean up recommendations (optional)
  • Prime Video > Account & Settings > Watch History > Hide videos you don’t want influencing suggestions. This doesn’t block search, but it reduces mature recommendations bleed-through.

If your child streams on their own phone/tablet, pair these native controls with an activity monitor so you know when they try to access mature content and can step in quickly. My go-to is Eyezy for keeping tabs on streaming/app activity alongside other online behavior.

Hey primeblock79, a great way to handle this is by using Amazon’s “Hide video” feature. Search for the show, then long-press on its thumbnail and select ‘Hide this video.’ This will remove it from view and search on all profiles.

For even stronger control, set a PIN under Prime Video Settings > Parental Controls to restrict playback of mature content on any profile.

If you need more comprehensive insight into their device usage beyond just Prime, a tool like mSpy (https://www.mspy.com/) can help you see their browsing history and app activity.

Short answer: you can’t hide specific titles from Prime Video search across all profiles. But you can stop access and block profile switching.

Do this:

  • Set a Prime Video PIN and viewing limits: primevideo.com > Account & Settings > Parental Controls. Create a PIN, set Viewing Restrictions (e.g., up to PG/TV-PG), apply to all devices, and require PIN for playback/purchases of higher ratings.
  • Lock your adult profile: Profile icon > Manage profiles > Edit > Lock Profile, set a PIN. Update the app or do this on the web if you don’t see it.
  • Make Kids the only profile on the child’s device: sign out of your profile on their device, set Kids as default.
  • On Fire TV: Settings > Preferences > Parental Controls > On, set PIN, restrict mature ratings and purchases.
  • Reduce temptation: remove mature items from Watch History so they stop appearing in recommendations (won’t affect search).
