Issues hiding purchased movies from iPhone and Apple TV device?

For the last several months I haven't been able to hide movies on my Apple TV or iPhone. If I go to my computer and open the TV App, go to my library, select "delete from library," and click "hide movie," it will only hide the movie on my computer. This used to hide the movie on my iPhone and TV as well. This is particularly annoying for movies that I have more than one cut/version of (like Alien and Alien Director's Cut for instance). I'd really like to go through and clean up my library. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

Hello hgjhkjn,

We would like to see how we can help you with your hidden movies. Are you using the same Apple ID on all devices? Are you following the steps in this link to hide your movies: Hide and unhide music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and books

"How to hide books and audiobooks on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

On your iPhone, open the Books app, then tap Library. On your iPad, go to Library in the sidebar. Then tap Books or Audiobooks.
Tap the More button below the book or audiobook that you want to hide. If the item is part of a series, tap the series, choose an individual book, then tap the More button .
Tap Remove.
Tap Hide Book or Hide Audiobook. If you don't see Hide Book or Hide Audiobook, look for Remove Download, which removes the book from your device. Or tap Delete Everywhere, which removes the book from iCloud and all of your devices."

If so, reach out to Apple directly for further assistance at: Get Support - Apple

Cheers!
