But now, Netflix has developed a new Profile Transfer feature that lets you enjoy your personalized content differently. This post will discuss this feature and show you how to transfer your Netflix Profile to a new account.
What Is the Benefit of This Feature
Many users share a Netflix account to watch content by creating different user profiles. This new feature will let people create separate membership profile to move out from the Netflix Family and transfer profile data to a new account or profile. As per Netflix, this feature will allow users who have moved out of a relationship or moved away from family members to create their paid account without leaving their watch history and content preferences. This feature sounds great if you are uncomfortable using or sharing a single Netflix account password with others. So you can finally move out of that group or equation. Netflix lets you transfer all your watch history, lists, and recommendations to a new account where you can start paying on your own and keep your Netflix account password private. One of the benefits of this is that you don’t have to rely on obscure methods to pay your share in a “shared Netflix family account” setup. Also, it helps you eliminate the limit of devices that can actively stream Netflix at a time.
