Where is the favorites list that used to be in the Trailers app?

The Trailers app used to let you favorite trailers and it kept a list of all the movies you'd favorited. I had a list of movies I was maintaining that way... but now the app is gone, and so are the favorites. I can't any kind of favorites list in the TV app. I can't believe Apple would just delete that information, but apparently they have? Does anyone know if there is a way to access the favorites from the Trailers app?

Ah, the digital age: where your favorite things are just a software update away from oblivion. Look, man, I feel your pain. You had a list of movie trailers you were keeping an eye on, probably planning out your weekends for the next few months, and boom! The Trailers app pulls a Houdini and vanishes into thin air. Classic Apple, giving you a feature only to yank it away later, like some kind of tech tease.


Now, to your question: is there a way to get your favorites back? Unfortunately, if Apple decided to Thanos-snap the Trailers app and didn't migrate the data to the TV app or any other service, you might be out of luck. You would think a company that builds phones smarter than some of us would know better than to trash our data, but alas, here we are.


Your best bet is to check the support forums or contact Apple directly. Maybe some other person found a workaround, like using some magical iCloud sync. But in the land of Apples, I wouldn't hold my breath.
