Do my HBO Max profiles and settings transfer to enhanced HBO Max?

Your HBO Max profiles, watch history, and your settings (including parental controls) are available in enhanced HBO Max.

There are two things that don't transfer to enhanced HBO Max:

  • HBO Max downloads: You'll need to download your shows and movies again with enhanced HBO Max.
  • Custom profile pictures: If you had a custom profile picture in HBO Max, you'll see a generic profile icon in enhanced HBO Max (enhanced HBO Max doesn't support custom profile photos). If you'd like to choose a different profile avatar, go to Add and manage HBO Max profiles.

You can add a Profile PIN to any profile to keep other people in your household from using your profile. For more info, go to Add a Profile PIN.

Each of your profiles has a My Stuff area with your Continue Watching list and My List.
