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.

🍿 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.

🌯 That’s a Wrap

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.

🍿 The Trakt Team

April was another busy month, with updates for our TV apps, improvements to translations, and roadmap items moving from “requested” or “planned” to “shipped.”

This month, the focus was on making V3 more complete, more useful on desktop, and easier to use across Web, iOS, Android, and TV apps.

Here’s a peek at what we shipped in April.

▶️ Plex Play enters beta

Plex Play is now available in beta on Apple TV and Android TV.

This is an important step toward making Trakt feel more connected to the media you already have. If you use Plex Sync, Trakt can now do more than tell you something is in your Library. It can help you start watching it from your TV.

We’ll keep improving that experience over the next few weeks.

🌍 Help improve Trakt in your language

We’re continuing to expand language support across Trakt V3.

The first version of translations helped us make Trakt available to more people, but good localization is more than converting words from one language to another. It needs to feel natural, clear, and familiar to the people using it.

That’s where the community can help.

If you spot wording that feels awkward or unclear, you can now help improve it through Crowdin.

🗺️ Roadmap Highlights

Your feedback continues to shape what we work on.

This month, several highly requested items moved forward, and some are now completed.

✅ Completed

Vertical UI for V3 Desktop
V3 now relies less on horizontal scrolling to reveal more information. Most rows now have a dedicated drilldown view, giving you the full set of details in a clearer vertical layout. Desktop navigation has also been improved with better use of the sidebar and top navigation across the app.

Make Icon on Top of Page Floating (web, v3)
The top bar on desktop web is now sticky, so you no longer need to scroll back to the top to switch media types. Filters, sorting, and page titles now stay easier to reach while browsing.

Bring Back Progress Page
Progress is back, with dedicated drilldowns for in-progress, completed, and dropped shows, giving you a better way to organize and view your TV show progress.

Display Episode Airtime
Episode airtime is back in both the details section and calendar pages, making it easier to see when new episodes air.

Add External Links
External links are now available in more places, including direct links to TMDb and more.

🧪 In progress

We’re also actively working on bringing users’ comments and ratings back to profile pages.

And yes, season-level information and actions are still warming up. This one is further along in the design phase, so it is moving, but it still needs some cooking.

👉 You can keep voting and submitting ideas on the Trakt Roadmap.

💻 Trakt on the Web

📖 Read the Android release notes

🧑‍💻 Note for API users

We also shared an early heads-up for developers using the watched endpoints.

If your app uses:

• /users/{id}/watched/{type}

• /sync/watched/{type}

you should read the GitHub discussion and review your integration.

The short version: watched endpoints are getting pagination, and the default extended behavior is changing. Apps should send page and limit, handle pagination properly, and stop assuming one request returns a user’s full watched history.

Season progress data will also become explicit through extended=progress, while extended=min can be used when you only need compact watched data.

📖 Upcoming API Changes: Watched Endpoints Pagination & Extended Defaults

👉 That’s a wrap for April

Thanks again to everyone sharing feedback on the forums, roadmap, GitHub, Reddit, and support.

We’ll keep listening, improving, and shipping.
