How to change the content rating on your Disney+ account

Disney is now asking subscribers to select content ratings for all users in their family.

Starting 16 March 2022, when you open the Disney+ app, you'll be asked if you want to change your content rating from TV-14 (few restrictions) to TV-MA (no restrictions). If you don't choose, you will be automatically given the TV-14 rating. If you're wondering why Disney+ needs a TV-MA rating, perhaps it has something to do with the new Marvel shows - Daredevil and Luke Cage - that it's beginning to offer. With that in mind, if you want to change a profile's content rating in Disney+, here's how.

How to change content rating in Disney+

Is Disney asking you to change your content rating?

If you open the Disney+ TV app and see a screen asking you to change your content rating, hit Continue and then select Full Catalog to keep everything in your selection. (Or, you can select Not Now, but that will automatically put you at TV-14.) You'll be asked if you want to access the "full catalog", and then you will need to confirm your selection with a password. 

Once done, you'll be given the option of creating a Profile PIN so that other members of your family or household can't access your profile or edit it. Afterward, you can set the content ratings for the other profiles on your Disney+ account. If it's an adult profile, you can set their rating to TV-MA, but children's profiles will not be given that option. 

Want to change the content rating after the fact?

If you want to change your content ratings later, open the Disney+ mobile app and follow these steps:

1. Tap Edit Profiles in the top corner.
2. Select the profile you want.
3. Scroll down to Content Rating and selct it.
4. Enter the Disney+ account password and hit Continue.
   
   • This is a parental control setting so it requires a password.
5. You will see the following content rating options:
   • TV-Y
   • TV-Y7
   • TV-Y7-FV
   • G, TV-G
   • PG, TV-PG
   • PG-13
   • TV-14
   • R
   • TV-MA
6. Choose a rating and hit Save.
