How to manually clear your 'Continue Watching' list on HBO Max

• To clear the "Continue Watching" list on HBO Max, you simply need to use the list's "Edit" function.
• If you don't finish a show or movie within 30 days, it's cleared from the Continue Watching list automatically.
• The Continue Watching list lets you pick up where you left off in a show or movie.

When you use HBO Max, it remembers where you left off in whatever TV shows and movies you've been watching. To pick up where you left off, you can select the show from the Continue Watching row on the Home page.

This way you can continue watching without missing a beat, even if you return to a program on a different device than the one you started the program with.

HBO Max keeps a show in the Continue Watching list for 30 days. If you don't finish it within that time, HBO assumes you aren't going to complete it and removes it from the list.

You can manually clear your Continue Watching list too. Here's how to do it using any browser on a Mac or PC, or the mobile app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
