Sharing your Netflix password with friends and family in the UAE will soon be just a memory. The streaming giant has confirmed that account sharing crackdown will start rolling out to new countries, including the UAE starting today.
Beginning today, we’ll start to address account sharing between households in almost all of our remaining countries. In these markets, we’re not offering an extra member option given that we’ve recently cut prices in a good number of these countries (for example, Indonesia, Croatia, Kenya, and India) and penetration is still relatively low in many of them so we have plenty of runway without creating additional complexity.
Netflix statement
Account owners are starting to receive emails notifying the same of the same. The statement also noted that a Netflix account is for use by one household. Everyone living in that household can use Netflix wherever they are at home, on the go, on holiday and take advantage of new features like Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices. Any sharing with people outside the household will be terminated.
Netflix is also allowing subscribers to add an extra member from outside their household, at an additional monthly cost.
