How recommendations work
If you're signed in to your Google Account and Web & App Activity is turned on, Google makes recommendations based on several factors, which include:
- What you add to your watchlist
- What you watched on Google TV and Android TV
- Content you purchased or rented on YouTube, Google TV, and Android TV
- Streaming services you selected
- Entertainment-related searches on Google Search or with the Google Assistant
- Specific titles you liked or disliked on Google TV, Android TV, or Google Search
- Trailers you watched on YouTube
- Popular content in your region
Tip:
- You can erase your past activity and data to reset your recommendations.
- New activity can give you fresh recommendations.
- To stop personalized recommendations, you can also turn off Web & App Activity.
