How to View Netflix Watch History [and Delete]

Netflix is a leading streaming service that offers a vast library of Movies and TV shows. In addition to this, Netflix has unique features that set it apart from other streaming platforms. For example, users have the ability to view their entire watch history, and they can also export this list to their device. If you want to learn how to access and export your Netflix watch history, here is a comprehensive guide.

Sometimes, you may find yourself wanting to review your Netflix viewing history since the beginning. This could be for the purpose of sharing it with friends or simply to jog your memory on titles you may have forgotten. Luckily, accessing your entire watch history is a straightforward process.

Once you finish watching a movie, show, or documentary, the likelihood of it appearing on the homepage is reduced compared to other content. Your incomplete viewing progress will be saved in the “continue watching”section, but you will not find the already watched content in any section. Do you agree that Netflix should have a “re-watch”section? In the meantime, you can use the following method.

Viewing Your Netflix Watch History

To view your Watch History and export the history list to an excel file, simply follow these steps.

To begin, access the official Netflix website and confirm that you are currently logged in.

To complete Step 2, first select your Profile, then locate and click on the Profile icon located at the top right corner of the page.

Step 3: Choose Account, which will lead you to the account settings.

Step 4: Navigate downwards and select your profile, which will prompt a drop down menu to appear.

Step 5: Click on View next to Viewing Activity from the menu.

Step 6: By clicking on Show More, you can view all the content that has been watched on Netflix using this account. This will display the content on the next page.

On the Viewing History page, you will find the title and date of the content that you have watched. Additionally, you have the option to download your entire Netflix viewing history as an excel file by selecting the Download All button.

Is Netflix Watch History Accessible on the App?

Unfortunately, viewing activity cannot be accessed on the Netflix App for Android and iOS. To view the titles you have watched, you will need to use the web version of Netflix.

Clearing Your Netflix Viewing Activity

If you share your Netflix account with your family and want to keep your viewing history private, you can hide any content from your Watch History. This will remove the content from your activity list, but it may still appear in suggested titles. To hide or delete your watch history, follow these steps.

To begin, access the Netflix website and sign in using your account information.

To complete step 2, access your profile and click on the profile icon located at the top right corner.

Step 3: Select Account and expand your profile to access the menu.

Step 4: Click on View next to Viewing activity.

Step 5: Within the Watch History list, you have the option to either click on Hide All to remove all content from your history, or click on the circled division slash icon next to a specific title if you only want to hide that particular title.

The title will be removed from Netflix’s viewing history list after 24 hours.

Sharing your account with family members? Keep it clean by using this method. We all have titles in our Watch history that we may not want to share. Another bonus is that the Watch history is not visible on the homepage.
