Amazon Prime Video introduces ‘Profiles’ option, similar to Netflix

The Hindu  

Amazon Prime Video has been one of the go-to OTT platforms in the recent times of quarantine and self-isolation, especially in India, where a lot of Hindi and other regional films immediately find presence, weeks after their release in theatres. Now, in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak and multiple members of the family binge-watching on the same account, Amazon Prime Video has finally decided to introduce the multiple profiles option that lets people have their own separate watch history, recommendations, progress on a show/ movie, as well as a watch list. In India, Prime Video has been quite affordable at Rs 999 a year, but in other countries like the US where it costs around $120 a year, this comes as a welcome surprise for different members in a household to manage their watch profiles. Amazon Prime Video profiles can be created and managed on select devices: Android and iOS devices, Fire tablets, Prime Video app on Fire TV, Chromecast, select Apple TVs, and in browsers everywhere.
