Clear Your Continue Watching List in Three Steps
To clear your Continue Watching list on Peacock, go to your profile menu, select Account, then Viewing history, and remove titles one at a time or clear the entire history at once. The process takes less than a minute and works the same way on the web app, mobile app, and streaming devices.
Your Continue Watching list shows the shows and movies you have started but not finished. Clearing it does not delete the titles from Peacock — they stay in the catalog. It only removes them from your personal queue and resets your watch progress, so if you start watching again later, the show will begin from the beginning rather than where you left off.
Key Takeaways
- You can remove individual titles from Continue Watching by clicking the three-dot menu next to each show or movie and selecting remove.
- To clear your entire Continue Watching list at once, go to Account settings, select Viewing history, and choose the option to clear all history.
- Clearing Continue Watching also erases your watch progress, so titles will restart from the beginning if you watch them again.
- The steps are the same across web browsers, the Peacock mobile app, and streaming devices like Roku, Fire TV, and Apple TV.
Remove One Title at a Time from Your Home Screen
The fastest way to clean up a few titles is to remove them directly from your home screen. Open Peacock and look at the Continue Watching row near the top. Hover over or tap the title you want to remove, and a three-dot menu icon will appear in the corner of the tile.
Click or tap the three dots and select Remove from Continue Watching. The title disappears from the row when ready. Repeat this for each show or movie you want to remove. This method works on all devices — web, mobile, and streaming platforms — though the exact button location may shift slightly depending on your screen size.
Clear Your Entire Viewing History from Account Settings
If you want to wipe your Continue Watching list completely, use the Account settings menu. On the web app or mobile app, tap your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account. Scroll down until you find Viewing history and tap it.
You will see a list of everything you have watched or started. At the bottom of this page, there is a button or link that says Clear all viewing history. Tap it, and Peacock will ask you to confirm. Once you confirm, your entire Continue Watching list and all watch progress will be erased. This action cannot be undone, so use it only if you are certain you want to start fresh.
How to Clear History on Streaming Devices
On Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, or other streaming devices, the steps are similar but the menu layout differs slightly. Open Peacock on your device, navigate to your profile icon or account menu, and look for Settings or Account. From there, find Viewing history or Watch history.
Select the option to clear history or remove individual titles. Some devices may require you to use your remote to highlight and select options, which can feel slower than using a mouse or touchscreen. If you cannot find the viewing history option on your device, try clearing it from the Peacock website or mobile app instead — the change will sync across all your devices within a few minutes.
What Happens When You Clear Continue Watching
Clearing your Continue Watching list removes the titles from your queue and resets your watch progress to zero. If you watched 30 minutes of a show and then clear the history, the next time you open that show, it will start from the beginning rather than picking up where you left off.
Clearing history does not remove the titles from Peacock's catalog, so you can still search for and watch them anytime. It also does not affect your saved favorites or watchlist — only the shows and movies you have already started watching. Your account settings, passwords, and subscription remain unchanged.
Why You Might Want to Clear Your Continue Watching List
Many people clear their Continue Watching list to start fresh after finishing a binge, to hide shows they watched with someone else, or to remove clutter from their home screen. A long Continue Watching row can make it harder to find new content, so clearing it gives you more space to discover shows you have not seen yet.
Some users also clear their history for privacy reasons — for example, if you share your Peacock account with family members or roommates and want to keep your viewing separate. Peacock does not offer individual user profiles the way Netflix does, so clearing history is the main way to manage what appears on your shared account's home screen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does clearing Continue Watching delete the shows from Peacock?
No. Clearing your Continue Watching list only removes the titles from your personal queue and resets your watch progress. The shows and movies stay in Peacock's catalog and you can still search for and watch them anytime.
Can I undo clearing my viewing history?
No, clearing your viewing history cannot be undone. Once you confirm the action, your Continue Watching list and watch progress are permanently erased. If you only want to remove a few titles, remove them one at a time instead of clearing all history.
Will clearing history on my phone also clear it on my TV?
Yes. Peacock syncs your viewing history across all devices linked to your account. When you clear history on your phone, it clears on your TV, web browser, and any other device within a few minutes. The same applies when you remove individual titles.
What if I share my Peacock account with someone else?
Peacock does not have separate user profiles, so clearing your history will also clear theirs. If you want to keep your viewing separate from someone else's, you will need to use different email addresses and separate accounts, or ask them to clear their own history when they are done watching.
Does clearing Continue Watching affect my saved shows or watchlist?
No. Clearing your Continue Watching list only removes shows you have started watching. Your saved favorites, watchlist, and any shows you have bookmarked for later remain unchanged.
