How do I see a list of what I’ve already seen on Netflix?<\/h2>\n\n

To view your Netflix viewing history, follow these simple steps:<\/p>

  1. Connect to your Netflix account using a web browser: <\/strong>

    This will give you access to all account management functions.<\/p> <\/li>

  2. Go to your account page: <\/strong>

    Here you’ll find a section entitled ‘Profile & Parental Controls’. Select the profile for which you wish to view the history.<\/p> <\/li>

  3. Click on ‘Viewing activity’ : <\/strong>

    You’ll then see a list of the films and series you’ve watched. If the list is long, use the ‘See more’ option to continue exploring your history.<\/p> <\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\n

    How do I clear my Netflix history?<\/h2>\n\n

    To delete specific items from your Netflix viewing history, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Log in to your account and access the ‘Profile & Parental Controls’ section of your account page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Select the profile whose history you wish to modify.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Click on ‘Viewing activity’. Next to each title in your viewing list, you’ll find a circle icon with a diagonal bar (often called the ‘Cancel’ icon). Click on this icon to remove a title from your history.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      If you wish to erase your entire viewing history, there is also a ‘Hide All’ option. This function is particularly useful if you want to start from scratch to influence future recommendations. Note that hidden titles will no longer be used to generate recommendations, unless you look at them again.<\/p>\n\n

      Bear in mind that modifications can take up to 24 hours to take effect on all devices. It is also important to note that titles cannot be hidden from a Youth profile for parental control reasons.<\/p>\n\n

      Impact on Netflix recommendations<\/h2>\n\n

      When you change your viewing history on Netflix, it directly influences the content recommendations you receive. By deleting titles from your history, you are letting Netflix know that these items may not reflect your current preferences. As a result, these and similar titles may appear less frequently in your suggestions.<\/p>\n\n
