When I watch an episode of any show on Apple TV, or I pause a movie to come back to it later, it does not save my progress under “continue watching.” I have to remember where I was and go find it all over again every time. I’ve checked my settings and everything is correct. I’ve logged out and back in, but no change.
Apple TV HD, tvOS 18
The setting that controls this is:
Settings﹥Apps﹥TV app﹥Use Play History﹥On|Off
It should be set to ‘On’ for what you want from it, which would be the default setting.
If it is still misbehaving with this setting on, then
As the Apple TV box is potentially a multi-user device, also verify that the intended account is set to be the active account. Else you could be changing someone else’s watch progress instead of your own. Switch the active user profile on Apple TV - Apple Support
I’ve logged out and back in, but no change.
That is a good troubleshooting step for this, but may not be enough in this particular case, unfortunately.
