There is a major feature that every single streaming service has… except Disney+. That feature is the option to remove a title from the Continue Watching row. It’s a common issue with streaming services that titles get stuck. You finished it, but it just won’t go away. Or you did NOT finish it because it was BAD. And you want it to go away.
All the other companies out there heard you!
Netflix allows you to hover over the title thumbnail and hit the X.
HBO Max has it so you click the words “Continue Watching” and then it pops up a window where you X out individual titles or clear them all.
Paramount+ operates similarly to HBO Max. You click the “Edit” button top right of the Continue Watching row and the select the titles to clear and hit “Remove.”
Hulu gives you the option to remove titles from the kebab menu underneath each. But idiotically removing it from row also resets its watch history so its as if you never watched it at all. Oh, Hulu. Sweet, sweet Hulu.
Peacock… tries?
Disney+ just stares you in the face, laughing.
From years of activity in the fan and subscribers communities online it’s clear this feature is top 2 alongside with Coming Soon section. Trying to explain its importance or the reasons people want this isn’t even worth any further time.
Just do it, Disney+. And dear glorp do not use Hulu’s implentation…
