Accessing a log of previously viewed content on the Netflix platform allows users to review their viewing history. This feature documents all movies, television episodes, and other media consumed under a specific profile. For example, if one wishes to confirm whether a particular documentary was watched, the viewing history provides a readily available record.
The ability to see one’s viewing history serves multiple purposes. It facilitates revisiting favorite shows or movies, allows for tracking personal media consumption habits, and aids in identifying content viewed by other users on the same profile, particularly useful in shared household accounts. Historically, media consumption tracking has been a feature desired by consumers for better management and understanding of their entertainment choices.
