In early August, Disney+ hinted that it would follow in Netflix's footsteps to end account sharing. There is bad news for users of the service, as the company confirmed its plans to curb this practice starting next month.
We know this thanks to a notification that Disney sent to several users of its service, where it notifies them about the changes that will take effect from November 1. Although the measures will initially be implemented in a single country, the idea is to extend this plan to more regions during 2024.
Disney+ already has a plan to end shared accounts
The end of shared accounts as such will begin next month in Canada. Disney+ users in that country received a notice informing them that they will no longer be able to share their subscription outside their home, unless their subscription level allows it.
So, all indications are that the company also plans to offer a new subscription level to allow the use of shared accounts outside the same household, once this measure is implemented.
On the other hand, it warns that it may limit or cancel access to the service to those users who violate the new terms of use. The company is expected to announce the changes in its policies in the United States before the end of the year.
Bob Iger, Disney's CEO, indicated a few weeks ago that they would adjust their policies and implement tactics to boost their monetization throughout 2024. So it may only be a matter of months before this adjustment is implemented in other countries.
As for a possible price increase, there are signs that Disney could opt for this move later this year. However, it is important to mention that nothing is confirmed for now.
