New features on NOW
Experience the same NOW and the entertainment you love in a fresh app. Learn more about the updates to the NOW app and its great new features below.
You can set up individual profiles, personalise your NOW viewing experience and get straight to the biggest and best content with top 10 recommendations and enhanced search.
Profiles
Personalise your NOW viewing experience with individual profiles. Keep track of what you’re watching, plus you’ll get your own Entertainment and Cinema recommendations based on your favourite title choices and watch history.
Each profile can have its own:
- Avatar
- Name
- Maturity ratings
- Profile PIN
- Autoplay settings
You can create up to 6 profiles for individual members of your household in one account, including kids, teen and adult profiles.
Profile PIN
Restrict others from accessing your NOW profile with a 4-digit PIN lock. And if you’ve got kids in the house, you can also use a profile PIN to stop them from watching content in an adult profile. Find out how to create, update, remove or reset your profile PIN below:
Parental controls
NOW’s new parental controls allow you to restrict what each profile sees. As well as the profile PIN feature above, you can set a profile-based maturity rating to prevent kids or teens from watching anything they shouldn’t. For more information, see Parental controls on NOW.
Personalised Entertainment and Cinema recommendations
Jump in and start watching entertainment that’s tailored for you. Personalise your profile’s homepage and enhance your Entertainment and Cinema recommendations. Just choose your top 5 favourite titles when you create a new profile, and we’ll suggest TV shows and movies we think you’ll like.
