Changelog

Track, Discover, Share brings together what Trakt is for: keeping your watching history, finding your next favorite, and sharing it with others. This summer, we’ve been making those everyday parts of Trakt easier to use, while giving you more ways to make it your own.

Grab your 🍿 for what’s changed, what you can try, and where we’re headed.

⚡ Fewer steps to get things done

Press / or Cmd+K to search for a movie, show, or page within Trakt. You can find your next destination without a single click. Open Trakt and try it →

Reordering a long list no longer means dragging an item all the way through it. Type the position you want, or move an item straight to the top or bottom. Open your lists →

▶️ Find your next watch faster

Progress now separates “Up to date” from “Ended.” Shows you’re caught up on have their own view, separate from shows you’ve finished that have ended or been canceled. Check your progress →

Calendar and Releases now let you filter for premieres and finales. Use them to find what’s starting or wrapping up without browsing every release. Open Calendar · Browse Releases

⚖️ More ways to decide what to watch

Ratings now include Letterboxd for movies and MyAnimeList for anime, where available. Open the ratings breakdown to compare sources; Letterboxd appears in that expanded view. See the ratings for Princess Mononoke →

We’ve also updated the Where to Watch panel. It brings the available streaming options into a revised layout when you’re ready to pick a service. Find where to watch Princess Mononoke →

🔧 The smaller things that add up

We’ve fixed several causes of unexpected sign-outs, loading errors, and import problems, along with watched labels, season progress counts, and hard-to-see poster badges. These are the small things you notice when they get in your way. If you’re still running into them, please keep sending us examples.

Before clearing data, removing duplicate plays, or deleting your account, Trakt now offers to export your data first. That option is on by default, and an incomplete export prompts you again before continuing. Duplicate cleanup also lets you choose which play to keep. Open your data settings →

We’re also bringing more of everything to our mobile apps. iOS updates added richer ratings, season details, widget progress bars, and fixes for past-date tracking and freezes; recent Android work includes widgets, a light theme, Smart List creation, and an updated watched-date picker.

✨ VIP previews: more control and detail

VIP members can turn on Preview Features to try features we’re still refining. Some are new since the last update, while others have been expanded or are still being tested.

• Parental Guidance: see content guidance for movies and shows, and filter by severity in Advanced Filters.

• Action confirmations: get feedback after supported actions, with quick undo options and a shortcut to change lists.

• List counts: see how many items a list contains and how many lists are in a section.

• Reviewer stats: see how much of a title someone has watched alongside their review rating.

These are previews, so the details may change. Tell us which ones help and where something still feels awkward. Try Preview Features →

🗺️ More VIP previews to explore

There’s more to explore. VIP members can try these previews and help shape what comes next.

• Soundtracks: find music from movies and shows, with playback where a track can be matched.

• Visual genre picker: choose your favorite genres from a grid.

• Edit Mode: show or hide sections that support it.

• Favorites by year: browse your favorites grouped by year.

• Smarter Continue Watching sorting: try a different way to order your next watches.

• Rewatch sessions: track, in Continue Watching, another watch of a show you’ve already seen.

• Pantheon: compare your watch time with people you follow.

We’re still working out the details, and how you use these features will help guide that work. Tell us what you’d keep, change, or do differently. Explore Preview Features →

🔭 What we’re working on next

Several requests you’ve raised are now being worked on:

• Seasons and episodes in personal lists will be back, so you can save individual seasons or episodes to your lists again.

• Separate main and supporting cast will make guest appearances easier to find.

• Episode counts in more season views are being tested to show you a season’s length at a glance.

• Collaborative lists will let you build and update lists together.

• GIFs in comments and reviews are being explored internally as another way to share your reaction.

These changes aren’t ready to announce as released yet. You can follow the linked work for updates.

Till next time, happy watching!

🍿 The Trakt Team

Six weeks, one clear theme: making Trakt more connected, more personal, and more dependable wherever you use it.

Since the start of June, we’ve filled important gaps in V3, added richer stats and social context, improved lists and discovery, shipped updates on Apple platforms, and moved our Android app forward.

We also moved quickly to welcome people coming from TV Time. We improved our import tools to bring over what matters most: history, ratings, and lists.

🧭 Web V3: the last mile

When we redirected free members to V3 in March, we kept the previous web experience available to VIP members while we brought over more advanced workflows and continued polishing V3.

June and the first half of July were about closing that gap.

In our last Product Roundup, we said our goal was to make V3 the default for VIP members by the end of June. We missed that target. The extra time went into moving more account and service management directly into V3, including subscription controls, connected apps, Plex-related settings, account deletion, and profile settings.

We’ve also kept working through your feedback about desktop workflows, filters, navigation, lists, calendars, progress, and history. We’re now watching new reports closely and fixing rough edges as they surface.

With those pieces in place, V3 is the default web experience for everyone. That’s a big milestone. But it isn’t the end of the work. We now have one modern foundation to improve instead of splitting that effort across two web experiences.

📦 Welcoming the TV Time community

When TV Time announced that its service would shut down on July 15, many people suddenly needed a safe way to preserve years of viewing activity. We made that migration an immediate priority.

The Trakt importer can read a TV Time GDPR export and bring across:

• Watched history, including watch dates where the export provides them

• Watchlist items

• Ratings where available

• Multiple export formats, including imperfect or incomplete variations

• Match choices for items that can’t be identified confidently

We also added clearer progress and reporting tools, support for larger exports, and several rounds of fixes based on real files shared through support. If an import doesn’t look right, you can report it directly. That gives us what we need to inspect the mismatch and keep improving the importer.

There are a few caveats. Continue Watching might look different because the two services calculate it differently. Anime season structures can vary between databases, and some exports are missing reliable IDs. Keep your original export somewhere safe, review your all-time totals after importing, and report anything that looks off.

🌐 More control and context on the web

The web app gained a lot of depth over the past six weeks. Rather than list every small change, here are the improvements you’re most likely to notice.

Lists, progress, and everyday actions

• Manually reorder your watchlist and custom lists

• Sort and filter Progress, lists, credits, and library views more consistently

• Rate an item directly from history and open dedicated history views for episodes

• Preview “watch until here,” drop a show from more places, and jump to the current episode faster

• Clear your library when you need a clean reset

• VIP preview: see favorites by year and use smarter sorting in Continue Watching

Richer show, season, and episode pages

• Explore season progress, information, and reviews without losing context

• Find more useful history, ratings, and release details in episode drawers

• See clearer ratings breakdowns, including season-by-season quality charts

• Find people, trivia, and social context in more places throughout the experience

Stats, social, and discovery

• Screen Time shows your last seven days of watching, including peak hours and useful stat cards

• All Time Stats, Month in Review, and Year in Review now feel more at home inside V3

• Activity and follow requests are easier to find, with more context about who’s watching or rating something

• The Releases calendar surfaces premieres, finales, and new releases more clearly

• “Why this?” explanations and Smart Related controls, currently in VIP preview, make recommendations feel less like a black box

The V3 web app is open source, and our work happens in public. You can follow issues, pull requests, and the conversations around them on GitHub.

🍎 iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV

Two iOS releases arrived during this period, both focused on making your Trakt data more useful and easier to share.

Trakt for iOS 3.6

• Viewing streaks on Home, with a monthly detail view

• Ratings added to profile activity

• Shareable media images

• Check-in end times

• Username and email management inside the app

• Fixes for birthday timezone handling

Trakt for iOS 3.7

• Screen Time for the last seven days, including peak viewing hours

• A new Activity view—essentially, “who’s watching this?”—with followers, ratings, and reviews

• Drag-to-reorder for custom lists and watchlists

• More powerful multi-select filters across Home, Calendar, and Lists

• Ratings breakdowns and season-by-season quality charts

Trakt for Apple TV 3.1

Apple TV received a cleaner action layout on summary screens, ratings alongside core actions, dedicated Trailer and More options, and check-in support when opening a streaming link.

Read the Apple TV release notes →

🤖 Android and Android TV

Work on Android followed many of the same themes as web and iOS:

• Viewing streaks, Profile Activity, Screen Time, and All Time Stats

• Native user profiles, follower activity, follow requests, and social screens

• Personal-list reordering, sorting controls, and public/private lists

• Dedicated media-history views and Android TV history management

• Better watched-date, Watch Again, and active-episode behavior

• Updated sharing links and Trakt social-image templates

• More accurate creator, credit, and history information

• In-app updates and a broad set of interface fixes

🔌 API and platform work

The Trakt API powers our own apps and thousands of community-built apps, media-center plugins, watch apps, and integrations. We love that. And we’ve been working behind the scenes to make that shared foundation more dependable.

Large accounts can now synchronize watched history in smaller, more predictable pieces. That means fewer timeouts and more reliable syncing for everyone. Read about the sync improvements →

Our API documentation also has a new home at docs.trakt.tv. It’s easier to explore, test, and keep current, giving developers a stronger starting point for future Trakt-powered experiences.

🔭 What we’re focused on next

Here’s where our attention goes next:

• Keep hardening V3 and fix the workflows that still feel less complete

• Improve import matching, reporting, and recovery for unusual exports

• Bring web, iOS, and Android closer together without forcing every platform into the same shape

• Refine Releases, Calendar, Progress, Continue Watching, and history based on how people actually use them

• Keep improving reliability, accessibility, and performance alongside visible features

🎬 That’s a wrap

There’s still plenty to improve. And your reports keep shaping what we fix and build next. Thank you for testing, challenging, and helping us make Trakt better.

See you in the next roundup 👋

🍿 The Trakt Team

In May, we continued improving V3 across web, iOS, and Android, and we’re getting closer to an important next step for Trakt.

That next step is about bringing more users into one modern experience, while also making Trakt feel more balanced: useful and fair for free users, and more powerful for advanced users who need higher limits, deeper control, and more flexibility.

🎯 V3 is getting ready for VIP members

We’re getting closer to an important next step.

→ By the end of June, V3 will become the default Trakt experience for VIP members.

V3 is already the default for non-VIP users, and we learned a lot from it. We see people using it, sticking with it, and giving us the kind of feedback that helps us keep making it better every day.

Now it’s time to start bringing VIPs forward too.

Our goal is to keep bringing useful workflows forward into one Trakt experience we can keep improving for everyone.

💎 A clearer direction for Trakt VIP

We also want to be clearer about how we think about Trakt VIP.

→ Trakt should be useful for everyone, without feeling like you’re constantly running into a paywall.

When something is VIP, it should usually be because it fits a more advanced use case: heavier use of the service, higher limits, deeper control, or customization that is more complex to build and maintain.

Some things currently behind VIP don’t really fit that idea anymore, and other features make more sense when they’re available to more people with sensible limits.

Trakt Plex Sync is one of those.

We want casual Plex users to be able to sync their library, play from Trakt, and track what they watch. VIP will remain the better fit for more advanced use cases like multiple servers, near real-time sync, larger libraries, and deeper control.

So, going forward, the direction is:

1. Make the free experience feel useful and fair.

2. Make Trakt VIP the better experience for advanced users.

That’s the direction we want to keep working toward with the community as Trakt continues to grow.

🍎 Trakt for iOS and iPadOS

On iOS, recent updates focused on the parts of the app people use most: keeping up with shows, opening more detailed media pages, and making the experience more personal.

• Better progress tracking with a new Progress section in the Profile tab, including Up to Date, In Progress, and Dropped shows, plus initial sorting options for Continue Watching and Start Watching.

• More complete media pages with better drilldowns for episodes, seasons, actors, extras, related items, credits, and social activity, plus smarter episode positioning in Show and Episode summaries.

• More personal control with advanced global filters throughout the app, a way to update your user profile cover image, personal and favorite notes for movies and shows, and the option to attach a note when dropping a show.

We also added more languages, improved the Social feed by merging repeated activity items, and fixed issues around special episode watched status, Month in Review, Year in Review, Person summaries, and missing episode counts.

🤖 Trakt for Android

Android continued catching up fast, with updates that make the app feel more complete across profiles, media pages, filters, and playback.

• Better progress tracking with a new Progress section in the Profile screen, making it easier to keep up with what you’re watching.

• More complete media pages with full-screen Season and Episodes sections, updated cast episode counts in media and people summaries, and effective release dates for episodes.

• More control and polish with Simple and Advanced filters, prioritized in-app video playback, a rating prompt for recently watched movies, support for 20 interface languages, and more crash fixes, UI tweaks, and reported bug fixes.

This is exactly the kind of progress we need as Android keeps getting closer to the full Trakt experience.

🌐 Trakt Web

On Web, the focus was V3 completion: improving the everyday pages, flows, and details that make the experience feel more useful on desktop.

• Better summaries and drilldowns with improved episode, season, People, and Where to Watch drilldowns, cleaner drawers, and more consistent links to deeper information.

• More useful lists, profiles, and stats with improvements to list summaries, list sorting, My Ratings, My Stats, profile activity, streaks, and Month in Review / Year in Review related pages.

• More polish and reliability with better desktop toggles, filter navigation, layout refinements, translation updates, safer loading states, fewer noisy errors, and fixes for older browsers.

These changes continue moving V3 toward a more complete desktop experience, with less reliance on horizontal browsing and more ways to drill into the full information you need.

The work is all connected.

V3 is becoming the main Trakt experience. Our mobile apps are getting closer to the same core workflows. Web is filling in more of the missing pieces. And VIP is getting a clearer purpose.

There is still work to do, and we know some workflows are not where they need to be yet. But the path is clear:

One modern Trakt experience, useful for everyone, with VIP focused on advanced users and heavier use.

Thanks for all the feedback, bug reports, feature requests, and patience as we keep moving this forward.
