M6+ documents up to five household profiles, created on mobile or web through Mon Compte, Gérer les profils and Ajouter un nouveau profil. Its parental filter is a separate Mon compte setting that hides videos carrying under-10, under-12 or under-16 cautions. The broadcaster explicitly says the filter does not act on advertising.
Organise the household’s profiles
The multi-profile help provides the mobile and website editor. After signing in, open Mon Compte, Gérer les profils and Ajouter un nouveau profil. It lets you choose a nickname and a profile icon, within the stated five-profile limit.
Choose names and pictures that adults can recognise on the shared screen. Profile organisation is a practical discovery aid: it identifies whose viewing area is selected. The documented creation route does not, by itself, establish an age lock or a code protecting every profile change.
Use the separate catalogue-filter route
M6’s filter help directs viewers to Mon compte, then Filtre parental in the left menu. It says activating the filter removes catalogue videos carrying the specified age cautions. Inspect that setting separately from the profile editor.
The two help pages describe different functions. Use the profile editor for names and icons, and the parental-filter area for the stated catalogue restriction. Do not infer a per-child PIN or an automatic filter assignment from the existence of a new profile; those controls are not established by these documents.
Understand the advertising boundary
The broadcaster says the filter applies to programmes available on M6+ and does not act on the advertising shown on the platform. That is a material boundary when deciding whether the documented function matches a child’s intended viewing session.
Discuss programme selection and the broader session separately. A filter can help shape the catalogue without answering every question about what appears around a programme. Read the actual programme and setting information rather than treating the general parental label as a promise about all displayed material.
Check organisation and restriction independently
After creating the intended profiles, inspect which one is selected on the viewing screen. Then inspect the parental-filter state through its own route. A useful household record identifies the profiles and the setting that was reviewed; it should not claim protections that the current screen does not show.
If the result is unclear, describe whether the problem concerns adding a profile, finding the filter or understanding what it affects. Those are different questions for official support. This approach also avoids repeatedly changing the account password when the unresolved issue is a catalogue setting or the selected profile.
