Along with the various other Apple TV actions in iOS 14, users can now set up more complete “profiles” for switching accounts, toggling other features like Light/Dark Mode or Captions as you switch users.

Set up individual shortcuts for each person in your family and share it with them for a completely custom Apple TV experience at home.

Also works well at the beginning of almost any Apple TV-based shortcut, if only to guarantee it’s set to your own profile and you’re not accidentally seeing someone else’s customized content.
