How to remove shows from Continue Watching in Showmax
Browse full collectionShowmax’s continue watching feature is a useful tool to make your viewing experience better. Here’s how to remove a show from your list.
When you start watching a new series or movie on Showmax, it’s automatically added to the Continue Watching row on your profile. This makes it easier for you to start streaming the titles you’re watching when you open the app.
While you’re exploring the Showmax catalogue, not everything you try will be for you. Here’s how to remove titles that you’re no longer interested in from your continue watching row.
This is also a useful tip if you share your viewing profile with family members and don’t want them to know what you’ve been binge-watching. We recommend creating an individual profile for everyone in the family, including age-restricted profiles for the kids.
