Netflix’s rise story is as interesting as the best of its original shows. Its journey from merely an online CD distribution service to one of the world’s largest original content producers has been extraordinary. To give you context, in 2017 alone, Netflix will spend six billion dollars on original content. Apart from its original content, one of the major reasons behind the popularity of the service is its feature set and user interface. Both web and mobile apps are really easy to use. The best part is that they track your watch times exactly, allowing you to pick up on your content right where you left off. You can simply go to the “Continue Watching” section and find out what you watched and where you left it.
However, this also introduces a minor issue with Netflix’s apps and web client. Sometimes a movie or series stays in the Continue Watching section even if you have finished it. There is also the case that you start watching the series and stop it halfway because you don’t like the series very much. Finally, sometimes you don’t want people to know what you’re watching (hey, I’m not judging anyone). For these reasons, you may want to remove TV shows and movies from your Continue Watching section. So log in to your Netflix account as we learn How to remove Continue Watching on Netflix:

Delete Continue Watching on the Netflix App
If you are wondering how you can remove the continue watching items in the Netflix app, there is no such option in the app. However, when you remove items from the “Continue Watching” section of Netflix in the web client, the same should be mirrored in the Netflix app on Android and iOS. Netflix says it will be done in 24 hours, but I think it’s much faster than that. In any case, you can always refresh the application to load the changes immediately.
