WhatsApp is looking into introducing a new button for resending status updates where users are mentioned in a future update. The current button, available to some beta testers, is a simple icon next to the caption bar, which might not be clear to all users. The upcoming redesigned button will be larger, feature both an icon and text, and be placed above the caption bar to make its function more apparent to users.

Disney+ has begun to implement charges for account sharing.

The Disney+ streaming service, like Netflix, recently implemented a fee for sharing accounts in several countries. Brazilian users are currently not affected, but this may change in the near future.

How will the subscription fee for Disney+ be implemented?

The Disney+ subscription is meant for use within the subscriber’s household, including devices used by the residents. Additional fees apply if sharing the account with friends or relatives outside this residence.

The additional person will need to cover an extra expense in the US, with costs of $6.99 monthly for basic Disney+ subscriptions and $9.99 monthly for Disney+ Premium subscriptions. Only one additional member is allowed per account.

Can Disney+ be accessed from locations other than home?

You can access Disney+ on compatible devices even when the subscriber is away by selecting the “I am Out of House” or “Update Residence” options if needed. These choices will prompt a unique code to be sent to the linked email address for verification.

Disney+ establishes deadline to stop sharing passwords in Brazil.

Disney+ will start restricting shared passwords among individuals not residing in the same place in Brazil from November 12, following Netflix’s lead. This policy is currently in effect in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and Brazilian users have started receiving notifications about the change.

Disney+ is set to put an end to the practice of sharing passwords.

Disney+ will verify the subscriber’s location by analyzing account activity, internet connection, and devices employed, ensuring that household members can continue to access the service without disruption.

In the United States, there is a current feature allowing for an extra fee to include users from different households in the plan. This feature is expected to be extended to other countries, such as Brazil, soon. This means that sharing the account will be possible by paying an additional fee for each extra residence.

Each additional subscriber to Netflix incurs an additional fee of R$ 12.90. Disney+ might consider implementing a similar approach in Brazil.
