How to Add Someone to Your Kindle Fire
Sharing a profile doesn’t automatically mean you’re sharing all media. And if you only want to share some purchases and keep others private, you can do so at any time in a browser. Unlike lending a Kindle book, sharing content gives everyone approved in your household permanent access to that piece of content, until you change the settings.
Tip
Once they’ve confirmed their accounts, swipe down from the top of your tablet and tap the profile picture in the top right of the menu. This will open a list of all profiles in your household. You may need to reboot your Fire tablet before you see a correct list.
Tap the one you prefer and it will switch to that profile. This can also be done from the lock screen by tapping the profile picture.
Adult accounts are locked so child and teen accounts won’t have access unless they have the PIN or password.
Search for a specific piece of content, or filter it by type.
You can bulk-add content with Select All > Add to Library. This can only be done with twenty-five items at a time.
Click the checkbox next to the content and then select More Actions on the right. From here you’ll be able to select libraries with which to share your content.
To change profiles on a Fire tablet, first drag down from the top of the screen to open Settings. Then, go to Profiles & Family Library and select the account to switch to it.
