Users will be able to easily migrate their Netflix data with the aid of the profile transfer tool when using or creating a new Netflix account.
Netflix has begun to offer subscribers the ability to transfer a profile from one account to another.
In a statement, Netflix said: “People move. Families grow. Relationships end. But throughout these life changes, your Netflix experience should stay the same. Today, we’re launching Profile Transfer, a feature that lets people using your account transfer a profile — keeping the personalised recommendations, viewing history, My List, saved games, and other settings — when they start their own membership.”
The feature has long been under test by Netflix in a few markets, and it is now being made available in India, the UK and other regions worldwide.
To transfer a profile, the user needs to go to the “Transfer Profile” option over the profile icon in the dropdown menu on the homepage — then simply follow the instructions.
To address privacy concerns stemming from the introduction of the feature, Netflix said “We will never transfer your payment information, and Children’s profiles cannot be transferred. All saved games and game progress connected to a profile will be moved to the new account.”
