3 Ways to Fix Netflix Screen Limit & "Household" Warnings (2026 Update)

Just when you are deeply enjoying a K-Drama marathon while waiting for the Iftar (breaking the fast) hour, a notification suddenly pops up: "Your device isn’t part of the Netflix Household" or "Too many people are using your account right now". Well, your previously chill pre-Iftar mood definitely turns into frustration, right?

In 2026, Netflix is indeed getting stricter in enforcing the Household rules. This means one main account detects the household's Wi-Fi location, and devices outside that location will have trouble accessing it. Not to mention the screen limit issue if the account is heavily shared with the extended family.

No need to panic and throw your TV remote! The JoinBareng team has the 3 most effective ways to overcome these screen limit and Netflix Household issues so your streaming can run smoothly again.

Method 1: Update 'Netflix Household' via the Main TV

If you happen to be at the main account owner's house (or you are the owner yourself), you can reset the location.

• Open Netflix on a Smart TV connected to your home Wi-Fi.
• Open the menu, select Get Help > Manage Netflix Household.
• Select Confirm or Update. Netflix will send a verification link to the registered email or phone number. Just click it, and you're done!

Method 2: Use the 'I'm Traveling' Feature

For those of you who are traveling, living in a dorm, or watching using mobile data outside the house, Netflix still gives temporary leeway.

• When the warning screen appears, select the I'm Traveling option.
• The system will request a temporary verification code sent to the main account owner's email/phone.
• Enter that 4-digit code. This screen will grant you watching access on that device for 14 consecutive days.

Method 3: Switch to a Private Premium Profile (Most Effective!)

The two methods above can indeed be used, but honestly... they are such a hassle! Do you really have to ask for a verification code from the main account owner every single time you want to watch? Especially if it's during Sahur at 3 AM, are you really going to wake someone up just to ask for an OTP code?

The smartest, permanent, and hassle-free solution is to have your own private Premium Netflix profile.

“Whoa, but isn't an individual Netflix subscription super expensive right now?”

Says who? At JoinBareng, you can get access to Premium 4K Netflix using an official shared system. You will get one private profile locked with a PIN, so there will be no more drama over fighting for screens (screen limits) with other people or stressing about Household warnings!

The price is very friendly, even cheaper than your go-to fast-food combo meal. Smooth streaming, your fasting mood is maintained, and your wallet stays safe!
