Account sharing continues to attack consumers’ wallets. Following Netflix, Disney+ attacked the practice in earnest during the year 2024. After the United States, France is preparing to test a paid option to share your account.

For several months, Americans have been paying $6.99 a month to have additional users on a basic account or $9.99 for a premium account.
The good news in the story is that this commercial practice has not yet spread to France. Although this practice was officially prohibited by Disney+, it was still possible to share your IDs with your loved ones on your subscription.
Unfortunately the situation is about to change, given that Disney+ has announced that users will soon have to pay an additional €4.99 per month to add it to their account. Unlike Netflix, it’s only possible to have one additional account linked to your Disney+ subscription.
Now it remains to be known what is the exact date of implementation of this paid account sharing. Released on December 12, 2024 by Journal du Geek, this information from a recent conference on the streaming platform does not provide this information.
However, we can read on Disney+’s support page that its launch is still planned for “later this year,” suggesting an activation in the coming days… just in time for the end-of-the-year holidays. .
