Tired of seeing Continue viewing posts on the cover of Netflix? Avoid worrying, this guide will explain how to remove the "Continue watching on Netflix" items.
Netflix: Netflix is an American media service provider founded in 1997. It is an online video streaming service that allows its customers to watch premium TV shows, movies, documentaries, and many more. It has videos related to quite a few genres like romance, comedy, horror, thriller, fiction, etc. You can watch any number of videos without being interrupted by any ads. The only thing that is required to use Netflix is a good internet connection.
There are many good features in Netflix that make it stand out from many other apps. Good things are obviously never free. Therefore, compared to other Netflix-like apps, it is a bit expensive, which makes users think twice before subscribing. But to solve this dilemma of people who take a Netflix subscription, Netflix comes with a new feature that a Netflix account can be run on several devices at the same time, but a number of devices that Netflix can work on are limited or fixed. Because of this, now people buy an account and can run it on various devices, which reduces the monetary pressure of a person who bought that account since multiple people can share that account.
The motive behind Netflix's meteoric rise is the original content produced by them. Not all of us know this, but Netflix has spent more than $ 6 billion producing original content.
Netflix offers one of the best user interfaces in the world for premium quality online streaming sites. On Netflix, everything is pretty intuitive, from the synopsis to the video preview. This makes up for the laziness of the watching experience.
No matter which device you use, Netflix will remember what you last watched, and will show it at the top in the "continue watching" section so you can keep watching.
Now, imagine you're watching a show and you don't want the whole world to know, but if someone logs into your account, they'll still see your "continue watching" section. So what should you do to get rid of this?
Now that you know that removing movies and shows from the "watch list" is an alternative, you should also know that it is a tedious task. At the same time, removing items from the "keep watching" list is not feasible on all platforms; it can't be done on a smart TV, and on some console versions. The best thing would be to use a PC / laptop to do this.
If you are looking for the solution to the previous question, then keep reading this post.
After reading the above Netflix feature, it may occur to you that it is dangerous to use Netflix as it will reveal to others the type of content you watch. But this is not the case.

Netflix has provided a method by which you can remove the video from the Continue Watching section if you don't want to show that video to anyone else.
