How to Manage Your Video Watchlists

You can hide videos from the Facebook Watch to stop seeing similar content suggestions.

To do this, open Facebook mobile app and go to the Video menu. Above the Video, tap on the X icon. The Video will no longer appear on the Feed.

After the latest Facebook update, you can now find the watched video history in “Your activity across the menu,” previously named as“Logged Actions and Other Activity.”
