At JustWatch, we’re committed to enhancing your viewing experience by helping you discover content that matches your preferences. Our "Hide Seen/Disliked" feature is designed to declutter your browsing experience by allowing you to hide shows and movies you’ve already watched or disliked.

Here’s how this feature works and how to apply it to different sections of the JustWatch platform:

Using the Hide Seen/Disliked Function on the Web App

The Hide Seen/Disliked function on the web app is straightforward and applies across all tabs, including Popular, New, and Watchlist. Once activated, it ensures that any content you’ve marked as watched or disliked will no longer appear in these sections, simplifying your browsing experience.

Please note: This feature is only available to Pro subscribers. If you’re not yet subscribed to Pro, consider upgrading to access this and other premium features.

To enable this feature:

  1. Log in to your account on the JustWatch web app (www.justwatch.com).
  2. Go to the Settings section of your account.
  3. Tap the "Hide Seen/Disliked" option to activate the feature.

Once enabled, this setting will automatically apply across all sections, ensuring you only see relevant and fresh content tailored to your preferences.

Hiding Seen/Disliked Content on the Mobile App

The Hide Seen/Disliked function on the mobile app is easy to use and applies to your entire app experience. Here’s how it works:

  1. Main Setting in Settings:
    • Navigate to the Settings section of the app.
    • Tap the "Hide Seen/Disliked" option to activate this feature.
    • Once activated, the app will automatically hide all your watched or disliked shows/movies across all sections, including Popular, New, and Watchlist.
  2. Toggle via Filters:
    • If you wish to view your seen or disliked content in specific tabs (e.g., New, Popular, or List), you can toggle this option in the Filters.
    • Go to the desired tab and tap the Filter button.
    • Toggle the "Hide Seen/Disliked" option on or off, depending on your preference.
    • This approach allows you to temporarily view hidden content in specific sections while keeping the main setting active.

This flexible setup ensures that your viewing experience is tailored to your preferences and remains intuitive and efficient.

Key Notes to Remember

  • On the web app, the "Hide Seen/Disliked" function applies automatically to all tabs, including Popular, New, and Watchlist, once enabled in Settings.
  • On the mobile app, the main setting in Settings applies to all sections, while individual tabs can be customized using the Filter toggle.
  • The Hide Seen/Disliked function is exclusive to Pro subscribers.

By leveraging this feature, you can optimize your JustWatch experience, keeping it personalized and efficient. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team via feedback@justwatch.com.
