We’ve been talking about it for months and this week it finally happened: Netflix wanted to put an end to shared accounts and finally found a way to do it. But one with a nuance: it doesn’t mean you can’t share an account, what you can’t do is do it for free like before. However, if you’ve done the math and it’s still worth it, here’s how you can configure your Netflix account to share it with other users from your Android device.
New prices and conditions
Until With the Standard plan and the Premium plan, you can share your account with one and three other people outside your household at the price of 12.99 dollars/month and 17.99 dollars/month respectively (to be divided between all).
You now have two options: either transfer a profile to a new account, or add additional subscribers for 5.99 dollars/month per subscriber, which must be paid by the account holder. Keep in mind that in the Standard plan you can add only one additional subscriber and in the Premium two. In other words, you will have to pay monthly as the primary cardholder 18.99 dollars for the Standard plan and 29.99 dollars for the Premium. Be careful, remember that only the Premium offers 4K and spatial audio.
What if I continue as before to share an account without adding new followers? In this case, keep in mind that Netflix could block your account or even close it permanently.
How to create additional subscribers
From the previous point it follows that who should do this task of creating additional followers is the account holder. If this is not your case, contact this person to do it for you.
To create an additional subscriber from an Android device, it is necessary that enter Netflix not from the app but from the browser. Enter your username and password here.
Next, tap on your profile icon that you will find in the upper right corner and enter “account“. In the account settings, scroll down to the bottom area, where it is”additional subscribers“. It will appear the option “Buy a pass to an additional subscriber“.
In the next step, Netflix will display the rules of the service, read them carefully, then click “Following“. In this section appears both the number of additional subscribers you can register and their price. Each additional subscriber will have their own account and password, but the subscription will be paid for by the person who invited them to join Netflix. (main owner).
Just in case, before completing the process, you will see a price summary and the message “Start an additional subscriber” in red. Press the button to start.
Now, we have already created a space for a subscriber, but we have not invited him yet. After clicking “Following“We will need to fill out a form with the additional person’s personal information, including name and email, in order for the invite to arrive. On the next screen, you will be taken to the subscriber management view.
