'How many profiles does Disney Plus allow?': What you need to know about the number of Disney Plus profiles you can create, and how to add or customize them

• Disney Plus allows up to seven separate profiles on a single account.
• For each Disney Plus profile, you can set a name and avatar.
• Your Disney Plus profiles can be edited, allowing you to change the character icon, alter the profile name, or delete it altogether.
• Disney Plus is the current leader among its major streaming competitors for the maximum number of account profiles.

Creating multiple profiles on your streaming account doesn't just help keep your watchlist separate. It can stop other users from messing with your recommendation algorithm.

Prime Video and Hulu only allow for up to six profiles, while the ever-popular Netflix allows for five max. HBO services do not offer a separate profile feature, and only limit users by the number of registered devices attached to their account.

But Disney Plus currently grants subscribers the ability to create up to seven separate profiles under the same account. You can make changes to these profiles at any time, whether you choose to do so on your desktop or mobile device.

Once you've created the maximum number of profiles on Disney Plus, the option to add another one will vanish. You can, however, use the edit feature to delete accounts you've already made, returning the option to add another profile.

Here's how to create a Disney Plus profile.
