Other profile features

Beyond parental controls, Disney+ profiles also have other features you can set for your child.

Playback and language settings

  • Autoplay limits how much time your child spends watching Disney+. Turn it off to help them step away once one thing finishes.
  • Background videos can be turned off here if your child’s device slows down with additional videos in the background.
  • App language lets you change the app language from English (UK) to a number of other available languages.

Feature Settings

  • GroupWatch allows users to watch the same content at the same time even if they are not at home together. All users must have a Disney+ subscription to use this. Turn this off if you need to keep your child from misusing it.
