Step-by-step, Netflix prepares to stand against the share account. In November, the new low-cost subscription will start with ads: it costs less than € 6 and is specially designed for freeloaders, for those people who until now did not want to know how to put their hand on their wallet.
Now it’s up to the new feature Transfer profilewhich is basically used to transfer history, personal advice and favorites list from a profile to a new account.
Today, Netflix allows you to create up to five profiles for each account. In this way, different people using the same account – for example family members living under the same roof – can have their own personal initiated content lists, without confusing each other.
In theory the Netflix terms of service does not allow you to share the account between people who do not belong to the same family unit, in practice to date the platform has tolerated this practice by turning a blind eye (or both).
Think, for example, of a father and mother who share a Netflix subscription with their adult daughter. What happens when she leaves her parents’ house to live alone? Technically they don’t live in the same house anymore so the daughter would have to sign up for a new house subscription. The conditional is a must, because as we said above, Netflix is still quite tolerant for the time being. But things are going to change
Netflix will soon no longer allow “remote” sharing of passwords between friends and family. Everyone will have to pay for their subscription, without exceptions.
In short, those who use their friends’ Netflix accounts today have the tools to prepare for the impending eviction. When the time comes, you can choose to create your own account, with a new password, but with all your history with you thanks to the new feature that allows you to import existing profiles.
Netflix will email users as soon as the new feature is available for their account. To export the profile, you need to select the appropriate option, which can be found under the profile icon in the drop-down menu of the home screen. The function Transfer profile it can be deactivated in the account settings.
