Netflix announced today that it is launching a new feature, allowing users to create individual profiles for family members that they share their accounts with. The feature could be a great help for parents who would like to keep their children from accidentally watching some of the streaming service’s more explicit material.
In a blog post today, Netflix said that users can create up to five different profiles and each can be linked to individual Facebook pages. The profiles can each have their own Instant Queues and recommendations based on that profile’s activity.
The new feature will not cost anything extra and will be available on Netflix apps for iPhone, iPad, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and streaming TV devices over the next few days.
It will also give easy access to Netflix Kids, a section exclusively with titles for children 12 and under.
“We continually innovate and are proud to deliver an even better, more personal Netflix experience," Netflix Chief Product Officer Neil Hunt said in a statement to TheWrap. “Now everyone in your home can have their own Netflix experience, built around the TV shows and movies they enjoy. No longer will your Netflix suggestions be mixed up with those of your kids, a significant other, roommates, or house guests.”
