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 Play, Google TV, and Android TV
  • Content you purchased or rented on Google Play, 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 Play, Google 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.
