"Continue Watching" appeared, then disappeared!
Same thing just happened to me in the last week... It was there for days and then *poof* gone. Did you ever figure out how to get it back?
Forum Discussion
Yes, I did. It is now in the "What to Watch" section of the main menu. Once you scroll down to that, you'll see your "Continue Watching" in the choices on the right side of screen.
Mine doesn't have anything under "What to Watch" other than "show" and "hide". Ugh! I loved that feature.
Lost continue watching this afternoon along with the saved items. Neither of these are anywhere in the settings or any of the menus.

I use continue watching all the time and it's now gone on all my Rokus. It seems to have been replaced with On Now and sometimes it says What to Watch. Need my continue watching!
Just happened to me tonight. I was watching a series for a week and could always select Continue Watching. Now I can’t get there. It’s showing much older “Continue Watching” items.

I don’t understand where my continue watching feature went. It used to be in the first row above the first row of channels now it’s gone. It was replaced by recommendations, which is not what I want. I looked in the settings to see if I could change it back to what I was watching, but that is not an option. I can only turn on and off recommendations, but I cannot get back to continue what I was watching. Why is that?
What is disappointing to me is that Roku made the decision to briefly add the 3X3 and/or 4X4 app tile grid size choice of option to my device and then several weeks later made the decision to remove the app tile grid size as a choice of option. And Roku also made the decision to replace and/or move the "Continue Watching" section (now buried deep within) that is associated with the "Recommended rows" with the "On Now" section which to me is basically the same as the "Live TV" option. The Continue Watching section listed under the What to Watch program section page was on the 2nd (1 button press down) row (until 5/8/2024) and now Roku has moved the Continue Watching section to the 8th (7 button presses down) row on my device. In my option the Roku "Continue Watching", and other Roku system modifications as well seem to be marked by extreme and often needless or excessive complexity. The reason I originally chose and purchased a Roku streaming device was for the product simplicity. It is yet to be seen what will happen after the Roku "PAID" advertisements are in full force and the effect of the long-term impact that will be associated with the Roku system services and devices.
