(Pocket-lint) – Netflix has added a new feature that should finally make it possible to retain your watchlist and viewing history even if you know you’re going to lose access to a Netflix account, or fire someone one from your own account.

The system allows you to move a personal profile to a new account to keep a whole host of details, but it only works when moved to a brand new account. It’s the perfect solution for those life events that require you to sign up for a new account to watch your favorite shows.

Here’s everything you need to know about this new feature.

What can you transfer to a new Netflix account?

First, it’s important to know what you can bring with you when you transfer your profile to a new account.

Netflix says your profile will carry its recommendations, viewing history, titles saved to My List, game saves, subtitle appearance, and other settings.

This means you should be able to start watching on a new account without it feeling any different.

First of all, this feature is quite new and only started rolling out worldwide on October 17, 2022, so you might not have access to it yet.

In most countries, the setting will be automatically enabled, but in the United States and South Korea, you’ll need to go to your account settings to enable it. When the migration tool is available, you should receive an email letting you know, no matter what.

Once it’s enabled, you’ll find the “Transfer Profile” option in the drop-down menu when you click on your profile picture while using Netflix – tap or click this option to get started.

Again, you will only be able to transfer the profile to a new member, so you will not be able to assign it to another account you already have.

Once you have entered the required details for your new account, the profile will be transferred and you will have separate accounts.
