Google's New Watchlist Helps You Keep Track Of The Content You Want To Watch

Google is rolling out a new feature that will help you bookmark the content you want to watch, so you won't get lost in the vast choices on the web.

There’s so much content on the web that sometimes it’s overwhelming to look at them. And it’s not easy to keep track of all the movies and TV shows we watch.

So Google has come up with a tool that may not solve this particular problem, but will likely make things easier for users. The new tool will also help you get rid of the notes that keep the shows and films you want to watch later.

Watchlist, as it’s called, is a new feature that was first spotted by 9to5Google earlier this week. With this feature, when you search for movies and TV shows, Google Search results will include a ‘Watchlist’ and a ‘Watched it?’ icon built into the knowledge panel of the content.

In case the content you want is currently in theaters only, you can get the “Get tickers” icon, which will bring you to the “Showtimes” tab. In another case, if the content has gone on YouTube, you will see a button labeled “Watch Now.”

9to5Google reported that Google is still rolling out this feature, which seems available on the web only, along with Android and iOS Google apps. For now, the tech giant hasn’t revealed a definite timeline for the implementation of this feature.

In separate news, Google has also been rolling out feature updates to Pixel phones, apart from its monthly update, called “feature drops.” Specifically, these feature drops will give Pixel smartphones upgraded or new features to improve its performance as well as security against vulnerabilities. This move will give Pixel users a privilege over other Android users, probably helping Google draw more people to use its smartphones.
