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.
You can find this convenient feature on the Home page of the Max app or web player. To see more titles, simply use the right arrow on the web player or swipe left on the app. For a complete overview of your “Continue Watching” list, check the “My Stuff” icon.
When you complete a movie or the final episode of a TV show, it will be automatically removed from the “Continue Watching” list. If you’re no longer interested in a title and want to remove it from the list before finishing it, Max provides an option to do so.
While you can remove a title from “Continue Watching,” it stays in your viewing history. If you start watching a removed or completed title again, you’ll see options like “Resume” or “Watch Again,” indicating that you’ve previously viewed it.
To completely clear your viewing history on Max, the most straightforward method is to delete your current profile. Please note that this doesn’t work for the main profile, the first one created with your account. The main profile can only be edited, not deleted.
Max subscribers on Ad-free and Ultimate Ad-Free plans can download content for offline viewing on mobile devices. However, downloaded movies and shows become inaccessible after canceling your subscription. To keep Max downloads forever, consider using dedicated software like Pazu HBO Max Video Downloader.
Pazu HBO Max Video Downloader enables you to save Max titles in MP4 or MKV formats, even with the ad-supported plan. It offers HD-quality downloads and reserves original subtitles and audio tracks. There’s no limit to how many titles you can download, and you can watch them offline on any compatible device whenever you like.
