Netflix, the largest video streaming platform in the world, with hundreds of millions of active subscribers in various areas of the globe, has started to send people an extremely important notification about the changes it is making before one that will upset a lot of people.
Netflix is preparing to ban the sharing of account passwords with strangers, and this means that each of those who pay for access to the platform will no longer be able to give others access to it unless they pay an additional fee of 25% for this, or at least that's how a pilot program is run in certain countries.
Before this happens, those at Netflix have made the decision to offer some subscribers the possibility to migrate their profile from one account to another, with the idea of preparing to have a separate account with a dedicated subscription , to pay to have access to movies and series.
Netflix has not yet set a clear date for the launch of this major change that will affect many of the people who use the video-on-demand streaming platform, but it is expected that it will come in the next period, and have a major impact for extremely a lot of people.
We're excited to announce that we've added a new feature called Profile Transfer to make life changes easier. Profile Transfer makes it easy to transfer an existing profile – including recommendations, watch history, My List, settings, saved games and more – to a new account.
If you don't want to allow this feature on your account, you can disable profile transfers below. If you do nothing, this feature will be activated automatically within 10 days from October 19, 2022. The profile transfer feature allows people on your account to transfer a profile – including recommendations, watch history, My List, settings, saved games and more – in your own paying membership.
