If you and your family share the same Amazon Prime Video account, you may want to have a separate viewing and profiling experience. For this, Amazon has introduced Netflix-like profile management so that users can create multiple profiles and have a personalized user experience.
Previously, there was only one profile on the Prime Video website or app. It was the same as the name of Amazon’s user profile. However, things changed when Amazon launched the new profile creation feature. You can now share your profile with your child or another family member, and he / she can open their own profile instead of spoiling yours.
Important Things About Amazon Prime Video Profiles
There are a few essential things you should know about this.
- You can create up to six profiles in a single account. Each profile holder can watch different videos without opening another person’s profile.
- You can create a profile for children. A “Kids” account only shows entertainment and content suitable for children / families on Prime Video.
- It does not provide an option to define maturity notes, automatic reading controls, etc. like Netflix offers.
- Anyone who has the credentials can switch from one profile to another.
