How do I change my Netflix recommendations?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

To change your Netflix recommendations, you’ll need to follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Netflix account by clicking on the “Sign In” button in the upper right-hand corner of the Netflix homepage.

2. Once you’re signed in, click on your Account in the same upper right-hand corner of the page. This will take you to your account settings.

3. Scroll down the page until you find the section labeled “Profile.” Underneath this section, you’ll see a link that says “Viewing Activity.” Click on this link.

4. You’ll now be taken to a page that shows your entire viewing history on Netflix. This includes all the shows and movies you’ve watched in the past.

5. To remove a show or movie from your viewing history, simply click on the “hide” icon next to the title. This icon looks like a circle with a line through it. Clicking on it will remove the title from your viewing history and prevent it from influencing your recommendations.

6. Repeat this process for any other shows or movies that you want to remove from your viewing history.

By removing specific shows or movies from your viewing history, you can ensure that your Netflix recommendations are based on your current interests and preferences.

Here are a few additional tips and considerations:

– Keep in mind that removing a show or movie from your viewing history will not delete it from your Netflix account. It will only remove it from your viewing activity and stop it from affecting your recommendations.

– If you’re using a shared Netflix account, make sure to select the correct profile before accessing your viewing activity. Each profile has its own separate viewing history, so be sure to remove titles from the correct profile if necessary.

– If you’re having trouble finding the “hide” icon or accessing your viewing activity, try using a different device or browser. Sometimes, certain features may not be available or displayed properly depending on your device or browser settings.

– It’s important to note that removing individual titles from your viewing history may not immediately impact your recommendations. Netflix’s algorithm takes into account various factors, including your recent viewing activity, to suggest content. So, it may take some time for your changes to reflect in your recommendations.

By following these steps and regularly managing your viewing activity, you can have more control over your Netflix recommendations and ensure that they align with your current interests and preferences.
