Do you find the profile picture provided by Netflix pretty boring?

No problem, because you can choose a new photo.

There are even several ways to do this.

It is well known that multiple users can access Netflix * even though only one person has a subscription.

So that not everyone has to share the same watchlist, there is also the option of creating separate profiles.

If you have chosen the premium tariff, you can look forward to an additional benefit: streaming is possible on four different devices at the same time.

But be careful

: Netflix only allows this so-called "account sharing" within the same household.

Should you defy this rule, the account could be blocked.

Let's assume that you share an account with your family, a flat share or your partner.

In this case, you can give the individual profiles names to distinguish them from one another.

When you go to Netflix, you'll also see photos above the name that show different colored smileys.

With two simple tricks

you can exchange these pictures to emphasize your individual profile even more clearly.

Exchange Netflix picture: The streaming service offers these possibilities

First the good news: Netflix allows the picture to be changed.

To do this, you need to do the following:

Go to the Netflix homepage and go to your picture in the top right corner.

A menu opens.

There you select "Manage Profiles".

Then all created profiles appear with a pencil symbol.

Click on the profile that you want to edit.

The "Edit profile" page opens.

There you will find your profile picture on the left with a pencil symbol.

Click the pen.

Now you can select one of the given images.

The disadvantage is that Netflix

only provides a small selection of images

These show characters from films and series of the streaming service.

If you want to upload your own photo, you have to choose another option.
