How to Delete Your Netflix Viewing History on Any Device

by

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

  1. Go to Netflix.com and sign in
  2. Click your profile icon (top right)
  3. Select Account
  4. Scroll down to My Profile and click Viewing Activity
  5. You’ll see a list of what you’ve watched
  6. Click the hide icon (a circle with a slash) next to the title you want to remove
  7. 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.
