Netflix in SKY Essentials and existing Netflix account. Am I paying twice?

Hi, I have just downgraded my SKY TV pakckage to the SKY TV Essentials package. It says that this will include Netflix standard with ads (if I am correct). We already have a Netflix standard with ads subscription paid through Netflix that my teens tend to use mostly when watching Netflix on their phones. My question is, will I now be paing for Netflix twice? Do I need to cancel my Netflix direct subscription now we have it through SKY or is it needed for mobile devices? Thank you

Signing into the Netflix app with the existing account credentials will transfer billing to Sky: it will also move the Netflix subscription tier to Standard with Adverts if you haven't chosen to add a Sky Netflix upgrade to Standard or Premium.

What package did you downgrade from? would you not have already had access to an included Netflix account through Sky with that previous package? Maybe you never activated it. But yeah if you activate the Netflix app on your Sky stream and sign in with your separately paid for Netflix account then Sky will take over the payment of it and you can still use it as normal on all your different devices not just Sky Stream device.
