The mobile apps aren’t free. However your friends don’t need to have a Plex Pass membership; they could also use the one-time activation. Members of your Plex Home should automatically benefit from your existing Plex Pass.

plex home also applies if the person is in their apartment or on the go using mobile data, right? ---

To be clear [Plex Home](https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/features/plex-home/) is meant for folks you actually live with, why the user picker is there. > [@nxmy7y6w7s\_privaterelay\_appleid\_com](#): > > in their apartment or on the go using mobile data, It does not matter where they actually are. ---
