Introducing: Watch History Privacy, Filter, and Sort Options

Introducing: Watch History Privacy, Filter, and Sort Options

 

We're excited to announce that privacy, filter, and sort options are now available for the Watch History feature on web and apps!

 

   

 

       

 

 

 

What's new?

You now have more control over your Watch History inputs, including:

  • Filter Watchlists, Charts, and List pages by content you have marked as Watched / Not Watched
  • Sort your Watch History page with standard options: Date Added, Your Rating, Alphabetical, IMDb Rating, Popularity, Number of Ratings, Release Date, and Runtime (web only, coming soon on apps)
  • Filter your Watch History page by standard IMDb list and chart filters, including Genres, Title Type, Release Year, IMDb Rating, Number of Votes, Where to Watch, In Theaters, In Favorite Theaters, You and This List, and Keywords
  • Set your Watch History Privacy Settings. Control the public visibility of your Watch History page, with support for mixed privacy states across related features of ratings and check-ins
  • Update all your preferences on the Privacy Settings page. A single, consolidated location for you to view and manage visibility permissions across all engagement features

We aim to continue expanding the Watched feature, and look forward to hearing your feedback.

Regarding the Watched “eyeball,” consider making it the color red on a series’ main title when I have marked it as Watched, but not marked all individual episodes as Watched. This might be an easy identifier for tv shows that I need to catch up on.** Just a thought. I’m always looking for easier ways to track series progress within the IMDb app. 

** Though, please first add a “mark all episodes as watched ” and “mark season as watched” options for shows we watched in the past.
