How to delete your Netflix history
If you share a Netflix account, you may want to delete the movies and TV shows you watch. Maybe it’s because the films were on the naughty side, or perhaps you have a secret love for romcoms and don’t want the world to know. Whatever your reason, deleting your Netflix history is the way to go. It only takes a minute or two to do, and it’s so simple even your grandma could do it.
This step-by-step guide will show you how to delete your Netflix history on an Android phone. The process is almost the same on your computer, with a few minor changes we’ll also discuss. Let’s dive in. You can sign up for Netflix at the link below:

How to delete your Netflix history on Android
- Launch Netflix in your preferred browser. This won’t work using the Netflix app.
- Tap on the menu icon (three horizontal bars at the top left corner of the app).
- Scroll down and select the Account option.
- Scroll down to the Profile and Parental Controls section and then tap on the profile you want to access.
- Scroll down and open the Viewing Activity menu.
You should now see all the Netflix movies and TV shows you’ve watched so far. Now, it’s time to start deleting things. There are two options available: you can clear your entire Netflix history at once or delete movies and TV shows individually.
To delete everything, scroll down to the bottom and tap “Hide all,” followed by “Yes, hide all my viewing activity.” To delete titles individually, tap the circular icon next to a movie or TV show, after which you can delete the entire series by selecting the “Hide series?” option. Within 24 hours, the titles you selected will be deleted for good.
