How to Add and Manage Amazon Prime Video Profiles

Just like Netflix, Amazon Prime now has a profile feature so that every person on the account can have their separate feed. You no longer need to worry about weird recommendations and lost saved shows. You can share your Amazon Prime subscription now with 5 other people and enjoy binge-watching. But first, you need to learn how to add and manage Amazon Prime Video profiles.

How to Add New Profile in Amazon Prime Video

No longer your recommendations would be affected due to your friend’s watch history. With the separate profile feature, each one of your friends will enjoy their own personalized feed. You can now create up to 6 profiles and along with Kid’s profiles. From a single account, up to 3 users can stream videos at the same time. Prime Video also remembers your profile from which you last logged in and opens it for you.

Create Profiles from the Desktop Website

  • Open the Amazon Prime Video website on your browser and tap on the ‘profile’ icon at the top of your screen.
  • From the dropdown menu, click on the ‘Add New’ option.
  • Give a name to your profile and in case you want it to be a child’s profile, check the Kid’s option. Once done, hit ‘Save Changes’.
  • In case you wish to switch profiles, go back to the ‘current profile’ at the top toolbar, and click on it. A list of account users will appear from which you can select the one you want.

Create Profiles from Mobile Apps

  • In the mobile app, creating profiles and switching between them is a bit different. Let’s see how.
  • Open the Amazon Prime Video app and click on the ‘My Stuff’ option available at the bottom of the screen.
  • Now, click on the Profile name that will appear on the screen.
  • From there, click on the ‘plus’ icon.
  • Now give your profile a name and once done, click on ‘Save’.
  • In case you want to switch between the profiles, go back to the home page, and click the ‘My Stuff’ button. From the list of profiles, click the one you want to switch to.

How to Manage Profiles in Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video also gives you the feature to manage your profiles, like deleting or renaming a profile, with few simple steps.

Manage Profiles from the Desktop Website

  • Go to the Prime Video website and click on the ‘Profile’ option at the top toolbar and from the drop-down menu, tap on the ‘Manage Profiles’ option.
  • A list of all the profiles will appear on the screen. Find the ‘Edit Profile’ option and click on it.
  • Now, tap on the profile you want to edit. If you want, edit the name of the profile or remove the profile.
  • To remove the profile, click on the ‘Remove Profile’ option at the bottom of the screen, and from the popup, select ‘Remove Profile’ again to confirm. This way you can remove all the profiles you want to, except the account holder’s profile.

Manage Profiles from Mobile Apps

  • Open your Amazon Prime Video app on the phone and go to the ‘My Stuff’ option at the bottom of the screen.
  • Now click on the profile that will appear at the top of the list.
  • From the drop-down menu, click on the ‘Edit’ option. A ‘pencil’ icon will appear in front of all the profiles.
  • Click on the ‘pencil’ icon in front of the profile you want to edit. Now you can easily edit the name of the profile.
  • In case you want to remove a profile, tap the ‘bin’ icon in front of the ‘Remove Profile’ option. Now, click ‘Yes’ in the confirmation box to confirm the removal. And it’s done.

With Amazon Prime Video’s new features it’s so easy to manage and create profiles. You can now stream easily and the account holder can control who uses the profile and who doesn’t. Happy binge-watching!
