Is there a way to get Apple TV to save my progress in a movie or show that I’m watching on my Roku tv? If I pause a program or leave Apple TV there’s no “bookmark” or prompt to pick up where I left off. The closest thing is suggesting the next episode of a tv show in “up next” tab but even that isn’t perfect because it starts the next episode whether I finished the previous one or not, again without a place holder for what I’m watching. I’ve read a handful of other users experiencing this same issue dates ranging from 2019-2021. How is this even possible? Any way to fix this? I don’t want to have to remember where I am in a program if I have to stop. What’s the point in paying for a service that doesn’t offer a solution for this very simple problem?

Resuming should be automatic, unless you purposely select a different episode (then that sets a new resume moment). Watch progress is stored online with your Apple ID account – not on the device. Up Next supports partially watched content.


If the issue persists despite the above, then I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).
