First of all, their curiosity might push them to make unwise choices regarding the programs, and such choices shouldn’t be permanently reflected in their profile, especially if they watched the program only for a brief period of time. On top of that, users would appreciate if programs could be removed from the “Recently watched” list because of two reasons. Netflix has a “Family plan” in the works, so separating the content depending on the age of each user is a must.
Another option would be to make an iOS/Android app specifically for kids, if parental controls are not implemented for each profile. Moreover, some suggest that it’d be nice to have the ability of password protecting each of the profiles. Users hope that each Netflix profile will have separate parental controls. The company has to decide whether the maximum number of profiles per subscription is five or six, but either way, this is more than enough for most families. The same way people use multiple accounts on their personal computers, while owning a single operating system license, they will be able to use multiple profiles with their Netflix accounts, too.
Still, the concept will remain unchanged. Since it was a prototype, some things could change by the time this update gets public. On an iPad, he revealed a prototype start screen that featured icons for each of the profiles. Tom Yellin, the Netflix VP of Product Innovation, demoed in an interview for Yahoo News how this is going to be implemented.
