• Clearing browser cookies or device cache can help resolve conflicts preventing Continue Watching from displaying.
  • As a last resort, resetting your device can eliminate potential software-related problems that might be causing the issue.

Basic Fix:

  • Scroll through the Netflix homepage: In all the other content Netflix pushes you to watch, it may happen so that the continue-watching pane may have been shifted underneath.
  • Delete and re-download the Netflix app: Deleting and re-downloading an application gives it a fresh start. If a particular app had stabilization issues or buggy features, a fresh download could help eliminate them. So, this trick should fix any app-specific glitches.
  • Check whether the show was removed: Whenever a title leaves Netflix, the platform generally prompts or releases a list of what’s leaving Netflix that month. You should check it out.
  • Disable VPN: If you use a VPN, disable it because it may feed you new content from a different region, suppressing your current watch list.
  • Log out and log in: Re-logging in is a quick solution that may act as a soft reset.

Tap top-right corner - 1

Fix 3: Clear Netflix Cache on Android

This one is for anyone who uses the Netflix app on their Android device. If your continue-watching list has vanished from your sight, your phone’s cache could be the real culprit. While cache speeds up an application’s performance, accumulation has a slowing effect.

Hence, if the continue watching pane is giving you trouble, we advise you to clear the Netflix cache on your Android device. Here’s how you can do so.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your phone. Then, tap Apps . You can then select See all 200 apps .

Tap Apps option - 10

Step 2: Then, select Netflix . Now, go to Storage & cache .

Select Netflix - 11

Step 3: Finally, select Clear cache .

Also, be mindful not to have previously cleared the Continue Watching list . If so, none of these fixes will work.
