Updating Your Netflix Primary Location: A Step-By-Step Guide

Navigating the process of setting or updating your Netflix primary location may seem daunting, especially in light of recent measures against password sharing. However, rest assured that it's a straightforward task, manageable through your television connected to your home network. Follow these straightforward steps to ensure your Netflix account aligns seamlessly with your primary location:

Steps to Establish or Modify Your Netflix Primary Location

Step 1: Begin from the Home screen on your TV, ensuring a connection to your home Wi-Fi or wired internet network.

Step 2: Using your TV remote, press the left button to access the menu.

Step 3: Navigate to "Get Help" from the menu options.

Step 4: Opt for "Manage primary location" from the available choices.

Step 5: Select your preferred method to receive the verification link – either through email or text. Ensure accurate entry of this information in your account profile.

Note: The verification link holds a 15-minute expiration, so act promptly. If it expires, choose "Resend Email" or " Resend Text ," or opt for "Remind me Later."

Step 6: Open the email or text message, then click on the provided link. Choose "Set Primary Location" when prompted.

Step 7: Confirm the primary location's establishment by checking the confirmation on your TV screen and the confirmation email. Now, you're ready to enjoy your Netflix content.

Changing Primary Location:

If you need to update your primary location, repeat the same steps through the TV and Wi-Fi network of the new location.

While recent policy changes from Netflix may not heavily impact users who don't exceed 30 days outside their primary location, certain situations – such as a student away at college consistently using the account – might warrant additional considerations. In such cases, exploring options like adding extra users to your account for an additional monthly fee could be a viable solution.
