  4. That’s fine in the activity log, but when you go back to Watch (on iPhone), and hit search and then videos watched, everything is still there. I have so many and want to delete some so my search for previous videos is not as tedious.

  5. I am using Facebook on an android phone. I have the same problem as Gary Bean. I went to the activity log, clicked category, and then “Videos You’ve Watched” . There was a long list. I deleted most of the items. However, if I am on my Home page, then click the Watch symbol (solid triangle within a square), the next screen shows WATCH and a search symbol (among other things). If I click on the search symbol, the next screen will show a search box, and under that Videos You’ve Watch with an arrow pointing to right. Clicked on right arrow. Next screen has 4 items including History. Clicked on history and there is the FULL list of videos I watched since getting on Facebook recently. March. 2020. So I am seeing two different lists under ‘Videos You’ve Watched”, going there by different paths..

    • Sir I had tried all the procedures you told still it showing the everything in watch history and some in watched history

      • Hello,

        I can show the procedure in a video and 100% working. However, in your case, if you really followed the steps mentioned in the article to delete Facebook watch video history. Then consider wiping your phone’s cache, or try deleting Facebook app data. Go to Settings, Apps, find Facebook, then go to Storage and delete its data. Note that the process will log you out of the Facebook app. Please follow the updated section of the article as well for your help.

        Thanks.

    • Hi,

      Then these are the files I mean caches stored in your phone, reset your caches using Avast Cleaner for Android and iPhone. But before doing so, clear the watched video history then do it. This will definitely help.

      Thanks.
