Watch history can always be a helpful feature. It allows you to pick up where you left off on a show or movie, even days ago. However, Netflix’s watch history is more than that. You can find a list of what you’ve watched in the last several months. What’s more, Netflix makes recommendations based on your viewing history, helping you discover new favorites.

If you want more privacy over your viewing history, you can easily remove a title from it. This guide will show you how to find and manage your Netflix watch history, and even download a copy to your device.

1. Find Netflix Viewing History on Mobile

The Netflix mobile app provides a more comprehensive view of your watch history. Here, you have three options to track it:

Option 1. Continue Watching on Home

With the Netflix app on your phone or tablet, you can find what you’ve started watching on the “Continue Watching” row at the Home page. Swipe left on your screen to see more titles you’ve started but not finished watching.

Option 2. My Netflix

“My Netflix” is located at the bottom right corner of the Netflix app. It’s your personal hub and gives an overview of your viewing activity, including “Trailers You’ve Watched”, “Continue Watching”, and “Recently Watched.” Recently Watched lists the episodes and movies you’ve done watching most recently.

Option 3. Viewing Activity under Account

You can also find the list of your watched movies and shows under the Account settings of the Netflix mobile app. Follow these steps:

  1. Tap “My Netflix” at the bottom right, select the three lines in the top right corner, and select “Account.”
  2. Scroll down and select “Privacy and data settings.”
  3. Tap “Viewing activity” to access your Netflix watch history.

3. How to Remove Titles or Clear Netflix Viewing History

You can directly remove individual titles from the Continue Watching row or hide them from your Netflix viewing history. If you hide a title, it will disappear from the “Continue Watching” row too. However, when you watch it again, it still shows up in both places.

Remove a Title from Continue Watching

  1. Go to the “Continue Watching” row on the Netflix website or the app.
  2. On mobile: Tap the three dots under the title and select “X Remove From Row.
  3. On the website: Hover your cursor over the title and select the “X” icon to remove it.

Clear Netflix Watch History

You can also clear your entire viewing history at once. Select “Hide All” at the bottom of your viewing activity to remove everything.

4. How to Save Netflix Watch History as CSV

Before clearing your Netflix watch history, you may want to keep a copy of what you have watched. Netflix allows you to download your entire Netflix viewing history as a CSV file, which you can keep track of even if a title leaves Netflix.

To download, go to the Viewing activity page on the Netflix website or the Netflix app and look for the Download All button at the bottom.

5. How to Download Netflix Watched Titles to MP4

Netflix users can download selected movies and TV shows from the Netflix app. However, downloaded titles can only be accessed through the Netflix app on the downloaded device. In addition, if the title leaves Netflix, or you decide to end your subscription, you’ll lose access to the downloaded content.

If you want to overcome these limitations and save your favorite shows and movies, you can use Pazu Netflix Video Downloader. It is a desktop program to download Netflix videos into MP4 and MKV formats. The converted files are preserved in high quality, up to 1080p, and maintain the original subtitles and audio tracks. After converting, you can transfer the downloaded files to any compatible device for offline enjoyment.
