This is all the information that is transferred:

• Recommendations
• Viewing History
• My List Titles
• Saved games and game aliases
• Settings (language, sub titles, autoplay and restrictions)
• Profile customization (name and icon)

What do I have to do to keep sharing my Netflix account

The question that makes users most uneasy is what do I have to do to continue sharing my Netflix account On their help page, Netflix states that it is intended for people who live together in one household and that people who do not live in the same household will need to use their own account to watch Netflix.Of course, it also states that it will not automatically charge you if you share your account with someone who does not live with you.

So, Can I still share my Netflix account with other people? Yes, but you will have to pay extra. This model has been put into practice in some Latin American countries, such as Argentina, where they charge 219 Argentine pesos per month (1.46 euros) for each user who enjoys Netflix outside the main home. We still do not know exactly how it will be implemented in Spain and how much it will cost, but this model will arrive at the beginning of 2023, so in the following year you will have to pay extra to share Netflix with people who live in another house.
