1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining that a plurality of user profiles are associated with an account of a media application;
generating for presentation a media asset during a first consumption session associated with the account, wherein the first consumption session is initiated by a first user of a first user profile of the plurality of user profiles;
receiving, at a particular progress point of the media asset, a pause command;
in response to pausing the presentation of the media asset at the particular progress point based on the received pause command:
generating for presentation a list comprising a plurality of indicators of the plurality of user profiles, respectively, associated with the account, wherein selection of one of the plurality of indicators causes the particular progress point of the media asset to be associated with a user profile corresponding to the selected indicator; and
receiving a selection of a particular indicator, of the plurality of indicators, that corresponds to a second user profile of the plurality of user profiles;

based on receiving the selection of the particular indicator corresponding to the second user profile, associating the second user profile with the particular progress point;
during a second consumption session, receiving a request for accessing the media asset; and
in response to determining that the second consumption session is initiated by a second user of the second user profile having been associated with the particular progress point, resuming presentation of the media asset from the particular progress point.
