How to Set Up Netflix Profiles

Tap through each step to set up a profile for everyone in the household.

  1. Open "Manage Profiles"

    After signing in, go to the profile selection screen and click "Manage Profiles."

  2. Add a new profile

    Select "Add Profile," then choose a name and an avatar picture.

  3. Set up a kids profile

    Turning on "Kids?" automatically limits that profile to age-appropriate titles only.

  4. Adjust the maturity rating

    Fine-tune exactly which content ratings are allowed, profile by profile.

  5. Lock a profile with a PIN

    Setting a PIN on a specific profile keeps other household members from opening it or changing its viewing history.

Everyone gets their own recommendations

Splitting profiles keeps each person's viewing history and recommendations separate, and a kids profile shows only age-appropriate titles β€” genuinely useful once more than one person shares an account.

Profiles separate viewing, not billing

All profiles on an account share the same subscription plan and simultaneous-stream limit, so adding profiles is free but does not add extra screens β€” check your plan's streaming limit if you regularly hit a cap.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many profiles can I create?

The number of profiles allowed depends on your subscription plan, so check your plan's specific limit if you run into a cap.

What exactly is restricted on a kids profile?

A kids profile hides mature-rated titles from search and recommendations entirely, and switches to a simplified interface designed for children.
