Netflix now allows users to \u201ctransfer profiles\u201d. <\/p>\n
The streaming giant \u2013 which is seeking to clamp down on account sharing \u2013 launched a new feature that allows people to send their viewing history and personalised recommendations to another account. <\/p>\n
Of the development, Netflix said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been testing Profile Transfer in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru since March and have learned that it\u2019s a really valuable feature for members who are starting new accounts during times of change.\u201d<\/p>\n
They added: \u201cTo transfer a profile, go to the \u2018Transfer Profile\u2019 option when you hover over your profile icon in the drop-down menu on the homepage \u2014 then simply follow the instructions.\u201d<\/p>\n
The change \u2013 which is available in all the territories they operate in aside from South Korea and the United States \u2013 allows for users to keep their data when they move to another country or after a break-up, along with additionally fitting in with their strategy of getting more people to pay for their services.<\/p>\n
In April, Netflix\u2013 which boasts original hit series such as \u2018The Crown\u2019, \u2018Stranger Things\u2019 and \u2018Sex Education\u2019 \u2013 claimed more than 100 million households internationally are using someone else\u2019s account. During the announcement, they outlined their plans to stomp out account sharing between homes within a \u201cyear or so\u201d. <\/p>\n
Currently, for account holders in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, they are trying out an add-on of $3 to allow people from other households to use the account. Previously, Netflix\u2019s CEO Reed Hastings hinted at rolling out a cheaper, ad-supported model.<\/p>\n
