How do I turn off personalised features in BBC iPlayer?

You can turn off personalisation in your BBC account settings. For more information on how to do this, visit the Using the BBC website.

These are the personalised features in BBC iPlayer that you will be opted out of:

  • Personalised programme recommendations 
    What we recommend based on what you’ve watched
     
  • Watching list 
    Found in My Programmes, this section keeps track of what you watch, offering new episodes when available
     
  • Cross-device resume 
    If you pause a programme on one device and continue watching on another device, the programme will start from the point you left off
     
  • Newsletter 
    While you can still receive the newsletter, you won’t get a personalised email suggesting more of the types of programmes you’re interested in

Bear in mind, it may take a little while for any changes you make to come into effect. But you can speed things up by signing out of your BBC account and signing back in again on all of the devices you use your BBC account on.
