Make “Watch Again/Add Additional Play options” the default action when tapping the Track Button on Prev. Watched Items

The current setup of “Remove All Plays” being the default action tied to the “Track” button on previously watched items is weird/counter-intuitive and presents a major risk of deleting watches by accident/mistake.

It’d be much better to move this action to another sub-menu or setting and make the default option logging an additional play at current time or bringing back the pop up menu with multiple options like in the old interface.

— Additional Context —

I know this was how it worked in the old interface too to an extent, but at least the site had a button to add an additional play nested button right there and the mobile app opened a pop-up menu with all the options to pick from by default instead. As-is, its even more railroad-y.

From a UX perspective, the current behavior bothers me because intuitively the Track button is the most important element in the app – Its the primary function for this service – and when you watch something its intuitively what you’re supposed to tap.

But when re-watching something, this design works against you because you will likely will go to tap the button out of habit then you might catch yourself but you also might tap it by mistake then need to back out and go to the other menu anyway. Worst-case you aren’t paying attention and accidentally delete your prev. plays by mistake.

Furthermore, I don’t understand the logic of having “Remove All Plays” being a function that needs such immediate/quick access as being tied to the primary action button of the app. This is such a consequential function that is completely opposite to the usual behavior of the button (logging watches).

Why isn’t this an option that’s separated in a sub menu like other mass history operations/settings changes? Is there a major subset of Trakt users that need to frequently/immediately delete huge swaths of their history with one button push?
