Claim 19:
20. 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, and a second user of a second user profile of the plurality of user profiles is present at the first consumption session;
determining, at a particular progress point of the media asset and based on sensor data, that the second user is exiting a vicinity of a computing device at which the media asset is being generated for presentation during the first consumption session;
in response to determining that the second user is exiting the vicinity of the computing device:
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 the second user profile;

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 the 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.
