Netflixhas announced that a new update is now rolling out to subscribers that will allow users to transfer a profile between different accounts.
The “much requested feature” will let users keep their personalised recommendations, viewing history, saved games and anything added to My List, once a new membership is started. Additional undisclosed settings will be transferred too. Netflix notes that whether you are moving to a different location, leaving home for the first time or even ending a relationship, your streaming experience can now stay the same.
It’s also likely a move so Netflix can clampdown down further onpassword sharingbetween friends and family. The company began running a trial in several countries earlier this year that would result in a surcharge being added to an account if breached.

“Today, we’re launching Profile Transfer, a feature that lets people using your account transfer a profile — keeping the personalized recommendations, viewing history, My List, saved games, and other settings — when they start their own membership,” said Netflix product manager Timi Kosztin (via ablog post).
“No matter what’s going on, let your Netflix profile be a constant in a life full of changes so you can sit back, relax and continue watching right from where you left off.”
