What is one thing we all love to do when watching TV shows or movies? Recommend them! It’s fun to share your excitement but it’s going to be tough if you’re the recipient. How do I track all recommendations? Like everything, Google has the answer to it – you can add movies and shows to Google’s Watchlist.
While jotting down these suggestions in your notes app is one solution, there are better ways to keep track of them. For example, the Listy app allows you to effectively maintain a watchlist, and it’s also featured in our best free Android apps of the month.
However, if you use third-party apps too much, you can use the Google search engine to do it. Google’s watchlist feature is extremely simple to use and manage. Let us show you everything you need to know.
How to save shows and movies to Google watchlist
Let us quickly understand how to add movies and shows to Google Watchlist. Whether you’re using an iPhone, Android, Windows or Mac – the process is the same. Furthermore, there is no need to install any apps as you can use the Google search engine on your browser to use the Watchlist feature.
However, make sure you’re signed in to Google. It needs to link the watchlist to your account so that you can access it at any time and make the same changes. Let’s get started.
Step 1: Open Google in any browser and search for the movie or TV show you want to add to your watchlist.
Step 2: Choose a movie or TV show name. Tap ‘Want to see’.
That’s it. The movie/show will now be successfully saved to Google Watchlist.
But how do you access the watchlist after all your favorite shows and movies are added? We will find out in the next section.
How to Get on My Watch List in Google
Once you’ve added a movie or show to your watchlist, all you need to do is search for ‘My Watchlist’ on Google Search. That’s it!
However, make sure you search for the exact term, and changing it even slightly won’t show you a watchlist.
Note: Make sure you’re signed in to Google with the same account you created the watchlist on.
Step 1: Open Google search and type My Watchlist in the search bar. Alternatively, you can also just use the link below.
That’s it. You now have your Google Watchlist in front of you.
While this is convenient, you can keep adding movies and shows and the list goes on. Therefore, make sure to edit your watchlist and mark the titles you have watched so that it is no longer on the watchlist. Here’s how to do it.
How to Edit a Google Watch List
Here’s how you can mark movies and shows as watched so they’ll be removed from your watchlist. This way, you can maintain a list of what you haven’t seen, and update and organize it.
Step 1: Open Google search and type ‘My Watchlist’ in the search bar. Alternatively, you can also just use the link below.
Step 2: When you access your Google watchlist, tap on the title that you want to mark as viewed.
Step 3: To mark a movie or show as watched, tap ‘Watched’.
It’s a way to edit and minimize redundancy on your Google Watchlist.
However, are you someone known for recommending good TV shows and movies? If so, you’ll want to share your watchlist with others. It is indeed possible to do so with your Google Watchlist.
Google has a tab called collections that highlights all the listings you’ve created on Google services. Here’s how you can use Collections on Google to share your watchlist with the world. Follow the instructions below to do so!
Note: Make sure you’re still signed in to the same Google account that you created your watchlist on.
Step 1: Use the link below to go to your Collections tab.
Step 2: Scroll down to find your Watchlist. Click and open your Watchlist.
Step 3: Select the share button at the top of your watchlist.
Step 4: Turn on the Share switch.
Step 5: You can share watchlists as watch-only or allow others to edit and add movies and TV shows. Once done, select Continue.
Step 6: You can copy the link or send it as an email to your contacts.
That’s how you can share your Google watchlist with others.
However, what if you wanted an easier way to access your Google Watchlist through a separate app? Thankfully, there are a few things you can do – you can install the Google TV app on your Android device!
Bonus: Use the Google TV app on your Android device
You can use the Google TV app on your Android device to manage or add movies and shows to your Google Watch List. A nice feature of this app is that it allows you to choose your subscription (Netflix, Prime, Hulu, etc) and it recommends movies and shows that you can access on them. This way, you can be sure of where to watch movies or TV shows.
However, the Google TV app is only available for Android, not iPhone.
Download the Google TV app from the link below. Once you’ve signed in to a Google account with a watchlist, you can access it on a dedicated tab on the app.
That’s all you need to know about adding movies and shows to your Google watchlist. If you have any questions regarding this, you can check out our FAQ section below.
