Amazon has revealed that it has started rolling out new Amazon Prime Video profiles to its customers. The new feature allows users to add up to six user profiles for its streaming service.
The company has revealed that users can have one default profile along with 5 additional profiles of either adults or kids within Prime Video on a single Amazon account. The company says that each profile will get personalized content and recommendations, watch history, season progress and watch list. This will be based on individual profile activity.
Moving on, the company says that the Kids profile will only show age-appropriate TV shows and movies with maturity rating 12 and under. Furthermore, search results and search suggestions will also be filtered.
