Netflix Is Making Account Transfers Easier
“People move,” according to Netflix. Families grow, and relationships expire,” but don’t worry, it’s only referring to a new function called Profile Transfer.
This should make switching to a new Netflix account much easy.
The new Profile Transfer function will allow you to transfer the majority of your profile data, including viewing history, My List, tailored recommendations, and even stored games (for the 12 of you that play Netflix Games), among other options.
Profile transfer is an easy process. All you have to do is go into your Netflix account settings and choose Transfer Profile.
It will then walk you through a simple procedure of hitting a few buttons and entering your account information.
This should be helpful for many, but it is apparent that Netflix, more than ever, does not want you to utilise shared accounts.
Simply said, whether you are leaving your parent’s home or terminating a relationship, Netflix is now promoting you to get a new account.
However, despite the criticism, it will be handy if you move in with someone who already uses Netflix.
One of the two persons might share their account and transfer their profile, which is the sole circumstance when Netflix does not mind password sharing.
Profile Transfer is already in the works and will be accessible to all members shortly. When it hits their account, all users will get a notice.
Netflix will also soon provide a lower-cost membership that will contain advertisements. It will reduce your video quality to 720p and show you 4 to 5 minutes of advertisements every hour (each ad being 15 to 30 seconds long).
This will be Netflix’s most affordable subscription plan. In addition, the corporation will begin charging a fee for shared accounts.
