What are Movistar Plus+ profiles on devices, what are they for and more

Streaming platforms decided to incorporate user profiles some time ago to make it easier for us to share an account or for each person, in the same house and with the same profile, to be able to follow their series and have their tastes without the others interfering. For this reason, there are Movistar Plus+ profiles on devices that allow us to choose between different users in the same account.

Netflix was the first streaming platform to incorporate this function, but Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and HBO Max were later added. Movistar Plus+ also allows us to have different profiles so that each one has their followed series, their own tastes, their recommendations, their history…

What are Movistar Plus+ profiles on devices

In Movistar Plus+ the “Home” profile is created by default but we can create up to four more profiles. That is, five profiles in total in each account regardless of the device you have. Each profile has its own name and its own user account

What profiles allow

Having differentiated profiles allows us to have a different history of the series but also different recommendations or favorites. There are generally three sections that we are going to achieve with these profiles… The first is the “I’m watching” section that will show us where we are going in each series or allow us to return to the chapter that we have left halfway without the need for other people, at home. , I stepped on it.

On the other hand, we have “for me” and “favorites”. In favorites we can see all the content that we like and that we want to always have at hand because it has been recommended to us or we want to follow it in the future. Based on this and our history, there is the “for me” tab that offers us personalized recommendations.

How to create profiles

To create profiles we go to the Movistar application or website and on the upper right side of the screen we find “Home”. Tap on it and a drop-down menu will open where you can choose “Manage profiles”. On the screen you will see, as in the image below, that you can modify the ones that already exist or touch the “+” icon to create a new profile. And it is right here where we must press.

The first thing we have to do is enter the name of the person. Once you have it, click on the avatar icon and different designs will appear. As in the rest of the streaming platforms, we can choose between many different characters that are part of the movies and series in the catalog. From animated characters like The Minions or superheroes to animals from the different documentaries that we can find to create a profile, as well as shields from the different football teams of LaLiga Santander and Smartbank.
