Whether you’re trying to keep your guilty pleasures private or just want to refresh your Netflix recommendations, deleting your viewing history is a smart move. Netflix saves every show and movie you watch — but luckily, it gives you the option to erase that history with just a few taps or clicks. Here’s how to clear your Netflix watch history across desktop, Android, and iOS devices.
Why Delete Your Netflix Viewing History?
- 🙈 To hide what you’ve watched from family or friends sharing your account
- 🔄 To improve future show recommendations
- 🧹 To declutter your “Continue Watching” list
- 🎯 To reset your Netflix profile’s viewing habits
How to Delete Netflix Viewing History on a Desktop
- Go to Netflix.com and sign in
- Click your profile icon (top right)
- Select Account
- Scroll down to My Profile and click Viewing Activity
- You’ll see a list of what you’ve watched
- Click the hide icon (a circle with a slash) next to the title you want to remove
- To clear everything, scroll to the bottom and click Hide All
📝 Netflix will stop using that title to shape recommendations, and it will disappear from “Continue Watching” too.
