Apple TV not tracking episode progress

Apple TV quit keeping track of episodes. I t always returns me to the episode where I added the series to my watch list. These are series that I have watched more than once.

I figured out how to fix it. I think the problem occurred when my Apple TV updated to tvOS 18.1. To fix it:

  1. Go to- Settings/General/Privacy & Security/Tracking

2. Press and hold your selection button on your remote over the button

“Ask Apps to stop tracking.”

This must be the default for this update. A pop-up window will give you three options.

3. Select:

“Allow Apps to Continue Tracking”.


Unfortunately, your button Now says

“Allow Apps to Ask To Track——Off”


However, it is the correct selection even if the wording is confusing.

4. Now go to Settings/System/Restart

The problem was solved for me.
