No more shared Netflix accounts. As of February 22, 2023, Spanish customers of the world’s leading streaming service have to report the primary location of their accounts through connecting the device or application to an IP address. Although users right now have many doubts regarding the change that the company has not resolved, the truth is that it is time to configure the location of Netflix. But how do you do it?
If someone is thinking of doing nothing, perhaps hoping for some kind of miracle where shared accounts are not detected by the platform, it may not be a good idea. And it is that, in that case, it will be Netflix who automatically configures the location based on the IP address, device identifiers and account activity, with all the problems that this can cause to users, starting with a possible blocking. from account.
So, let’s see how to configure (or change) the main Netflix location, that is, the main place from where you see the content and that is associated with the Wi-Fi network at home, as well as the devices connected to it.
Another consideration to keep in mind. If you have several Wi-Fi networks at home, you must set the main location from a device that is connected to the most used network, since it is possible that Netflix only recognizes one as the main location.
