Unlike Netflix, Max (formerly HBO Max) doesn’t have a dedicated watch history feature. Instead, it offers a “Continue Watching” list to track what you’re watching. While this is helpful for picking up where you left off, you might want to remove titles from this list to keep it organized. In this guide, we’ll show you how to find and remove titles from your “Continue Watching” list, and a workaround to effectively clear your Max watch history.
Max’s “Continue Watching” feature keeps track of the shows and movies you’ve started but haven’t finished. Once you finish a title, it’s automatically removed from the list.
