How to Add and Manage Disney+ Profiles

Tap a step to see how to set up and manage Disney+ profiles.

  1. Select the profile icon on the home screen

    Tap the profile icon in the top corner of the Disney+ app.

  2. Choose "Edit Profiles"

    From the menu, tap "Edit Profiles".

  3. Create a new profile with "Add Profile"

    Give each family member their own name and avatar to set up a separate profile.

  4. Set up a kids profile

    For a child's profile, turn on the "Kids Profile" option to limit content to age-appropriate titles only.

  5. Why this is useful

    When a family shares one subscription, each person's recommendations and watch history stay separate, and children only see content that is safe for them.

Worth setting up if kids watch too

A dedicated kids profile automatically filters out content that is not age-appropriate, while the adult profiles keep getting recommendations suited to grown-up tastes.

Check how many screens can stream at once

Most plans limit how many profiles can stream simultaneously on different devices, so if several family members tend to watch at the same time, it is worth checking your plan's simultaneous-stream limit before you run into a "maximum streams reached" message.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can each profile have its own password?

Yes β€” in profile editing, you can turn on a profile lock (PIN) to require a passcode for a specific profile.

Can kids profiles still search for content?

Yes, but search results are limited to titles within that profile's age rating range.
