How to Find and Modify ‘My List’ on Netflix

We all have that friend who gives out shows and movie recommendations all the time. And when there’s a new recommendation in every conversation, it gets hard to keep track of all the suggestions. However, you can use this handy feature called ‘My List’ on Netflix to bookmark shows, so that you can get back to them later.

We heavily use this feature and wish Netflix provided us with better controls to use it. Amazon Prime Video does a great job of letting you handle a watchlist, and the one on Netflix is pretty barebones.

Having said that, if you weren’t aware of the My List feature until now, you’re in the right place and we’ll show you everything you need to know. Let’s begin.

What is My List on Netflix

As we mentioned earlier, My List is a feature that lets you bookmark shows and movies. So every time you hear about a new show, you can add it to My List and then easily access it later.

This is a far more efficient way to make a list of shows and movies you want to watch, rather than manually noting it down on your Notes app. Now that we know what this feature means, let’s get started with the basics.

How to Add Content to My List on Netflix

Here’s how you can add movies or shows to My List on the Netflix website and the mobile app – yes, we have outlined steps for both.

I. Add to Your Netflix Queue List Using the Web App

Step 1: Open the Netflix website on your preferred browser.

Step 2: On the Website, open the title that you want to add to the watchlist.

How to Find My List on Netflix

Here’s how you can access My List on the website and the mobile app of Netflix.

I. View Your My List on Netflix Website

Once you open up the Netflix website, the first row of tiles will be the My List. You can slide to view all the titles you have added.

We find this to be quite cumbersome and difficult to access bookmarked shows, which in our opinion defeats the entire purpose of having a watchlist on Netflix. We do hope Netflix pushes an update to improve the same.

However, on the mobile app, it’s safe to say that accessing shows and movies on My List is a better experience.

II. Find My List on Netflix Mobile App

To quickly access a show or movie on My List, scroll down on the home screen to find the same, similar to how you do it on the Netflix web app.

However, you can open it up as a separate window so that you have a better view of it. Let’s see how to do that.

Step 1: On the home screen, tap on your profile icon in the top right corner.

Step 2: Tap on My List.

You can now see a complete list of the shows and movies that you added to the My List in a dedicated window.

That’s how you access your watchlist on Netflix. When we did the same, we realized that we have way too many shows and movies added to it, and some of them have already been watched. We felt the need to remove a few titles and declutter this list. If you feel the same, move to the next section.
