Google has confirmed that its next Google TV update will feature custom profiles, watchlists and personalised Google Assistant help. Soon, multiple users in the same household will find it much easier to find their favourite TV and movies.
A Google spokesperson told The Verge that custom profiles will "start rolling out next month on Chromecast with Google TV as well as Google TVs from TCL and Sony". Any downloaded apps and credentials can be used across different profiles, apparently.
Google TV already offered users the ability to sign into multiple personal Google Accounts but recommendations were based on the likes and dislikes of the primary account holder only. Now, each member of the household will get TV and movie recommendations just for them.
Rumours that Google was prepping personalised profiles surfaced four months ago, when tech fans found mention of personalised homepages buried in the Google TV source code.
