It’s no secret that Netflix is losing subscribers and has been trying out different methods to get more of them. For this, the popular OTT platform began testing an add-on option to curb password-sharing and the ability to transfer Netflix profiles. The latter is now available for users. Here’s a look at the details.
Netflix’s Profile Transfer feature will allow users to transfer their My Lists, recommendations, saved games, and other settings when they are planning to create a new subscription. In a way, this is another attempt to persuade more people into getting a new Netflix subscription instead of relying on others.
The Profile Transfer option can also be disabled via the Account settings if not needed. This comes in addition to the recently announced ad-supported plan by Netflix. The plan will go live on November 3 in the US, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, and the UK.
It will show content in HD quality with an average of 4 to 5 minutes of ads per hour. The ads will be 15 to 30 seconds in length. However, there won’t be an option to download the content. The Netflix ad-supported plan is priced at $6.99 (~ Rs 575) a month. There’s no word on its availability in India as of now.
