How to delete Netflix history on Android

3. Scroll down and select the Account option.
4. Scroll down to the Profile and Parental Controls section and then tap on the profile you want to access.

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 one by one.

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 have the option of deleting the entire series by selecting the “Hide series?” option.

Within 24 hours, the titles you selected will be deleted for good.
