What are the benefits of creating a profile on Philo?
Philo’s profiles come with a feature that, to my knowledge, no other streamer does. Each profile on Philo comes with its own sign-in credentials, so you don’t have to worry about remembering someone else’s email or password, or count on them to send you a login code when you’re trying to use the app.
Having a profile also keeps each user’s viewing history separate from anyone else using the account, and creates recommendations specific to the profile owner. It’s the best way to make sure your Philo account is as customized as it can be.
Can you delete a profile on Philo?
Absolutely. Any time you want to delete a profile, go back into the profile creation menu using the instructions above, and when you are in the profile settings area, find the Delete Profile button. Click it, confirm your choice, and you’re set to create a new profile as needed.
