Who can share a Netflix account?
Netflix plans are built for one household: the people who live together and share the home’s internet connection. Every plan lets you set up several profiles, and the higher plans let more screens play at the same time.
In some countries Netflix sells an extra member slot for someone who lives elsewhere. In India it does not, so an Indian plan is for the people under one roof. Rules change, so check Netflix’s current help pages before you split a plan.
NeverSub is not affiliated with or endorsed by Netflix. Netflix is a trademark of its owner.
What counts as a Netflix household?
The devices that connect to the internet at the main place the account holder lives. Devices that never connect there can be asked to verify.
People in the household can still watch on their phones when they travel, but the TV at home sets the household, and devices away from it are checked from time to time.
Only share a plan whose terms cover the people you add. On Netflix that means family and flatmates in the same home, not friends across town.
Can flatmates split a Netflix plan?
Yes, if you live together. Flatmates in one home are one household, so they can split one plan and each take a profile.
Pick the plan that matches how many people watch at once. If everyone tends to watch on their own screen in the evening, a plan with fewer screens will cause arguments.
Agree house rules up front: one profile each, nobody changes other people’s profiles, and who decides if the plan changes.
What if someone moves out?
They are no longer part of the household. Netflix lets them move their profile, with its history and list, to a new account of their own.
On NeverSub they leave the room, or the host removes them, and their seat opens again. The host changes the password if it was shared, and the room keeps the record of who paid for which month.
