Profile Transfer is a feature that lets a member on an existing account switch to a new account without having to rebuild their profile. They don't have to worry about their personal data being erased like personalized recommendations, viewing history, list of favorite shows, and other settings.

The new profile transfer feature is likely to encourage freeloaders to finally pay for their own accounts.

Subscribers worldwide will be notified via email when the feature is rolled out. Users can go to their profile icon on the home page to find the transfer profile option.

In account settings, theProfile Transfer option can be turned off.

The people are moving. A family grows. The relationship ends. Timi Kosztin, Product Manager, Product Innovation, said in today's post that the experience should stay the same.

After seeing a drop in subscribers, the streamer decided to test password-sharing features. About 100 million households have password freeloaders according to the streamer.

In March of this year, the company launched an extra members feature in several Latin American countries. In July, the company began testing an " add a home" feature in Argentina.

The streaming giant has suffered a loss of nearly one million subscribers and is looking for ways to make more money. The ad supported tier was launched last week.
