Delete Watch History on Peacock in Three Steps
You can delete your Peacock watch history from your account settings on any device. The process takes less than a minute: open your account menu, find the viewing history section, and clear it. Peacock removes the record when ready, though the shows themselves stay in the app's catalog.
The steps are the same whether you use the web version, a phone app, or a streaming device like Roku or Apple TV. You do not need to contact Peacock support or use a special tool — the delete option is built into your account. Your history is stored on Peacock's servers and tied to your login, so the deletion syncs across every device where you sign in.
Key Takeaways
- Your watch history lives in your account settings under "Your Stuff" or "Profile," not in a separate menu.
- You can delete all history at once or remove individual titles one at a time.
- Deleting history does not cancel your subscription or affect your saved shows and watchlists.
- If you share your Peacock account with family members, each person's history is separate and tied to their own profile.
- Once deleted, your watch history cannot be recovered, so make sure you want to clear it before confirming.
Delete All Watch History at Once
Open the Peacock app or website and sign in to your account. Tap or click your profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Account" or "Settings" depending on your device.
Look for a section called "Your Stuff," "Viewing History," or "Watch History." Tap or click "Clear All" or "Delete All." Peacock will ask you to confirm — select "Yes" or "Clear" to finish. Your entire watch history disappears when ready and will not reappear on any of your devices.
On some devices like Roku or Fire TV, the menu layout differs slightly. Go to your profile, select "Settings," then look for "Clear Viewing History" or a similar option. The confirmation step is the same. If you cannot find the option on a streaming device, try clearing history from the web version instead — the deletion will sync to all your devices within a few minutes.
Remove Individual Shows or Movies from Your History
If you want to keep most of your history but hide a few titles, you can delete them one at a time. Open your profile and go to "Your Stuff" or "Viewing History."
Find the show or movie you want to remove. Hover over it (on web) or long-press it (on mobile and streaming devices) until a menu appears. Select "Remove from History" or a trash icon. The title disappears from your history but stays available to watch in the app.
This method is slower if you have many titles to remove, but it lets you keep the rest of your history intact. You can also use this approach to clean up your history gradually — removing one or two titles each time you notice something you do not want recorded.
What Happens to Your Recommendations After You Delete History
Peacock uses your watch history to suggest new shows and movies. When you delete your history, those recommendations change. The app will start showing you suggestions based only on what you watch going forward.
If you delete history but want to keep your recommendations accurate, you can also pause your watch history instead of deleting it. Some accounts have a "Pause Viewing History" option in settings — this stops Peacock from recording what you watch without erasing what it already knows. Check your account settings to see if this option is available on your account.
Manage Watch History on Shared Accounts
If you share your Peacock account with family members, each person can have their own profile with separate watch history. This means your history and theirs are kept apart, and deleting yours does not affect what they have watched.
To set up separate profiles, go to your account settings and select "Manage Profiles." Create a new profile for each household member. Each profile has its own watch history, saved shows, and recommendations. When someone signs in with their profile, only their history is visible to them.
If you delete history from a shared profile, only that profile's history is removed. Other profiles on the same account keep their own records. This is the best way to maintain privacy if multiple people use the same Peacock subscription.
Why You Might Want to Delete Your Watch History
Some people delete their watch history for privacy — to keep a record of what they watched from being visible to others who use the same device or account. Others clear it to reset their recommendations if they watched something they do not want Peacock to base future suggestions on.
Deleting history does not affect your subscription, billing, or saved shows. It only removes the record of what you have watched and changes what the app recommends to you next. You might also delete history if you borrowed someone else's login or used a shared device and want to remove your viewing record.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does deleting watch history cancel my Peacock subscription?
No. Deleting your watch history only removes the record of what you watched. Your subscription stays active, your billing does not change, and you can keep watching whenever you want.
Can I recover watch history after I delete it?
No. Once you delete your watch history, Peacock does not keep a backup. If you delete it by mistake, you cannot get it back. You can only start a new history going forward.
Will deleting history remove my saved shows and watchlists?
No. Your saved shows, watchlists, and bookmarks are separate from your watch history. Deleting history does not touch any of those.
Can I delete history from just one device?
No. Your watch history is tied to your account, not to a single device. When you delete it, it is gone from all devices where you are signed in with that account.
What if I want to hide my history from someone else on my account?
Create a separate profile for that person. Each profile has its own watch history, and they cannot see yours. Go to "Manage Profiles" in your account settings to add a new profile.
