Would you like to delete annoying movies or series from your Netflix history? Or are you tired of Netflix offering you movies and series based on titles you’ve watched out of curiosity or by mistake? Don’t panic, we’ll show you how to easily clear your viewing history and start afresh.
Where is the history on Netflix?
To view your Netflix viewing history, use a web browser. The application does not allow this.
Here’s how to do it:
- Connect to your Netflix account on a browser
Open a web browser (such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari) and go to the official Netflix website. Log in with your login details (e-mail address and password associated with your account). Note that this operation must be performed on a browser, as the Netflix application does not allow access to viewing history.
- Go to your Account page
Once logged in, click on your profile icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear. Select the “Account” option to access all your Netflix account management settings.
- Select the relevant profile
On the “Account” page, scroll down to the “Profiles and parental controls” section. You’ll see a list of profiles associated with your account. Click on the arrow to the right of the profile for which you wish to manage history.
- Open the viewing history.
In the settings for the selected profile, look for the “Viewing history” or “Viewing activity” section. Click on the “View” link to access the complete list of titles this profile has watched.
