Do you have more than one Netflix account? You can define up to five different profiles so that everyone can find their favorite movies and series. Here's how to create, modify or delete them.
The Netflix paid video streaming platform has the advantage of being able to be used by several people on the same account, with different profiles, regardless of the subscription plan. Whether you have an Essential plan at € 7,99 per month for a single screen, a Standard plan at € 11,99 per month for two simultaneous screens or a Premium plan at € 15,99 per month allowing up to four simultaneous connections, you can create up to five different profiles for a single account. This allows everyone to have their own space, with their favorite content and individual reading history. Any user can customize their Netflix profile as they see fit, with the icon of their choice and several settings adjusted to their needs. This feature is also very beneficial for parents who wish to impose restrictions on the use of Netflix by their child.
