Amazon gives its users a convenient way to watch their vidoes on their television. The Amazon Fire TV Stick will stream movies and shows online to your television for a full viewing experience.

If you have the Fire Stick device, you just have to plug it in your television via HDMI. The device is small and takes up little space behind your television. Then, connect the device to your WIFI to allow online streaming on your TV. Aside from video streaming, the Amazon Fire Stick also supports video games.

However, there may be times when we want to delete our viewing history for different reasons. If you find yourself in such situation, this article will help you how you can properly clear your Amazon Fire TV Stick Viewing History.

Why Clear Your Viewing History

There are different reasons why we want to clear our viewing history. Apart from the fact that you may not be alone at home and the only one watching movies, it can also benefit your device.

Seeing that you may have kids around the house would not be ideal for them to accidentally view the movies that you may have watched but are not appropriate for them. Clearing your viewing history is one way of making sure it does not happen.

In some cases, we may watch movies that we do not want other finding out or we may be too embarassed for others to see so clearing these histories would be helpful. Still for others, clearing the history cache of your Amazon TV stick can help prevent lagging and slow speeds. It clears data that have piled up from your previous views.
