5 Easy Steps to Remove Shows From Continue Watching on Peacock

Peacock Continue Watching

Decluttering your Peacock Continue Watching list can be a daunting task, but it’s essential to keeping your streaming experience organized and enjoyable. With so many great shows and movies available, it’s easy for your list to become cluttered with items you’ve already watched or lost interest in. However, removing these unwanted items is surprisingly simple and can be done in just a few quick steps. Whether you’re looking to streamline your list or simply free up some space, follow these comprehensive instructions to effortlessly remove clutter from your Peacock Continue Watching queue.

Begin by opening the Peacock app on your device and navigating to the Continue Watching section. Here, you’ll find a list of all the shows and movies you’ve recently watched. To remove an item, simply hover over it and click the “Remove” button that appears. You can also select multiple items at once by checking the boxes next to them and then clicking “Remove.” Once you’ve removed the unwanted items, they will disappear from your Continue Watching list. It’s important to note that removed items will not be permanently deleted from your Peacock account, so you can always add them back to your list later if you change your mind.

If your Continue Watching list is particularly cluttered, you can also use the “Clear All” option to remove all items at once. This can be a useful way to start fresh if you’re no longer interested in any of the shows or movies on your list. To clear your list, simply click the “Clear All” button that appears at the top of the Continue Watching section. Once you’ve confirmed your choice, all items will be removed from your list. Regularly removing unwanted items from your Peacock Continue Watching list will help you keep your streaming experience organized and enjoyable. By taking a few minutes to declutter your list, you’ll be able to quickly and easily find the shows and movies you’re most interested in.

Deactivate Continue Watching to Hide Content

When you stream content on Peacock, the platform automatically adds it to your "Continue Watching" list. While this is convenient for picking up where you left off, it can also clutter your list with shows and movies you may no longer be interested in. To keep your Continue Watching list organized, you can deactivate this feature to hide content you don’t want to see.

Steps to Deactivate Continue Watching

Access Your Account Settings:

Open the Peacock app or website.
Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.

Navigate to the "Continue Watching" Section:

Under "Account," click on the "Continue Watching" tab.
You will see a list of all the shows and movies currently in your Continue Watching list.

Deactivate Continue Watching:

To deactivate Continue Watching for a particular show or movie, click on the three dots next to its title.
From the menu, select "Deactivate Continue Watching."
Repeat this step for any other content you want to remove from your list.

Utilize the Filtering Options

Peacock offers a convenient filtering system to help you refine your Continue Watching list and easily remove unwanted shows or movies.

Filtering by Category

Click the “Filter” button at the top of the Continue Watching page. This will display a drop-down menu with various categories, such as “TV Shows,” “Movies,” and “Live Events.” By selecting a specific category, you can filter out items that do not meet your criteria.

Filtering by Progress

You can also filter your Continue Watching list based on your viewing progress. By selecting the “Partially Watched” or “Completed” options from the drop-down menu, you can display only the items that you have started watching or have finished, respectively. This can help you prioritize your viewing or remove completed shows from the list.

Manually Remove Individual Titles

To manually remove individual titles from your Continue Watching list, follow these steps:

1. Select the Title

Open the Peacock app or website and hover over the title you want to remove from your Continue Watching list. A pencil icon will appear in the top-right corner of the title’s thumbnail.

2. Click the Pencil Icon

Click the pencil icon to open the Edit menu for the selected title. You will see three options: “Edit Details,” “Remove from Continue Watching,” and “Remove from My List.”

3. Select “Remove from Continue Watching”

Click the “Remove from Continue Watching” option. A confirmation dialog box will appear, asking you to confirm your choice.

Personalized Recommendations

Removing titles from your Continue Watching list can help personalize your future recommendations from Peacock. By tailoring your list to include only shows and movies that you genuinely enjoy, you can receive more relevant suggestions. This enhances your viewing experience by ensuring that you discover new content that aligns with your preferences.

Managing Space

In addition to improving recommendations, removing unwanted titles from your Continue Watching list can free up space on your device. Peacock allocates a certain amount of storage for each profile, and a large number of titles can quickly fill up this space. By removing unused titles, you can ensure that your device has enough room for the shows and movies you actually want to watch.

Employ Privacy Mode for Discreet Viewing

Privacy mode on Peacock allows you to hide your viewing history from other users on your account. This can be useful if you’re watching something you don’t want others to know about, or if you simply want to keep your viewing habits private.

How to enable Privacy Mode on Peacock

Launch the Peacock app and sign in to your account, if necessary.
Tap the “Settings” icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
Under “Privacy,” tap “Privacy Mode.”
Tap the “On” switch to enable Privacy Mode.

What Privacy Mode does

When Privacy Mode is enabled, your viewing history will not be saved to your account. This means that other users on your account will not be able to see what you’ve been watching. Additionally, Peacock will not use your viewing history to recommend content to you.

Limitations of Privacy Mode

Privacy Mode does not make your viewing activity completely private. Your ISP and the website or app you’re using to watch Peacock can still track your activity. Additionally, if you’re using a shared account, other users may be able to guess what you’ve been watching based on the content that’s recommended to them.

Here is a table summarizing the key points about Privacy Mode on Peacock:

Feature	Enabled	Disabled
Viewing history saved to account	No	Yes
Other users can see viewing history	No	Yes
Peacock uses viewing history for recommendations	No	Yes

Access Private Browsing to Avoid Saving History

To prevent Peacock from tracking your viewing history and populating your Continue Watching list, you can access private browsing mode on your device. Here’s how:

For Chrome users: Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the browser window, then select “New incognito window.”
For Firefox users: Click on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner of the browser window, then select “New Private Window.”
For Safari users: Click on the Safari menu in the top left corner of the browser window, then select “New Private Window.”
For Microsoft Edge users: Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the browser window, then select “New InPrivate Window.”
For mobile devices: Open the Peacock app, tap the menu icon, and select “Private Browsing.”

Once you’re in private browsing mode, any shows or movies you watch will not be saved to your Continue Watching list.

Additional Considerations:

Here are some additional tips to consider when using private browsing to remove items from your Continue Watching list:

Remember to clear your browser cookies and cache after exiting private browsing mode to ensure that no traces of your viewing history remain.
If you’re using a shared device, make sure to use a different browser or user profile when accessing private browsing mode to avoid affecting others’ viewing history.
Private browsing only prevents tracking on the device you’re using. If you’re accessing Peacock from multiple devices, you’ll need to access private browsing mode on each device to prevent your viewing history from being saved.

Utilize Incognito Mode to Prevent Tracking

If you’re adamant about keeping your viewing history under wraps, utilizing incognito mode is your best bet. This private browsing mode hinders websites from storing cookies or tracking your online activities. Consequently, Peacock won’t be able to monitor your viewing habits, and the “Continue Watching” section will remain pristine.

How to Activate Incognito Mode:

The process of activating incognito mode varies depending on your preferred browser. Here’s a breakdown for popular browsers:

Browser	Steps
Google Chrome	Click the three dots in the top right corner > New Incognito Window
Mozilla Firefox	Click the three lines in the top right corner > New Private Window
Microsoft Edge	Click the three dots in the top right corner > New InPrivate Window
Safari	Cmd+Shift+N (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+N (Windows)

Once incognito mode is enabled, you can navigate to Peacock and stream content without leaving any traces in your viewing history. Keep in mind that incognito mode only protects your browsing activities within that specific session. Once you close the incognito window, your browsing history is wiped clean.
