The Watch together screen in OnTheList, listing titles that are on both your watchlist and a friend's and are streaming now.

Three steps, then you are watching.

Nobody has to build a shared list, agree on a system or maintain anything. You each keep your own list, exactly as you would anyway, and the overlap is worked out for you.

Add a friend

By username, by a private link you send them, or by scanning a QR code when you are in the same room. No phone numbers and no address book access.

Keep your own list

You both carry on saving whatever you like. There is no shared list to curate and nothing to keep tidy between you.

Open Watch together

It shows the titles you both saved that are streaming in your country now. Not what you both might like. What you both actually chose, and can actually watch.

A friend's profile in OnTheList showing an 87% taste match, the titles you both have and the genres you share.

Know whose recommendations to trust.

Every friend gets a match score, the titles you both have and the genres you share. It settles the question of why one person's suggestions always land and another's never do. You can also browse a friend's list the same way you browse your own, and take something from it.

Private until you say otherwise.

Sharing a watchlist should not mean giving up control of it. Nothing is visible to anyone until you add them, and you can change your mind at any point.

Private by default

Your list is yours. Nobody sees it until you add them as a friend, and you decide who that is.

Hide a single title

Something you would rather not explain? One toggle keeps it on your list and out of sight of friends.

Reset your link

Replace your share link and every link or QR code you have handed out stops working, in one action.

Questions about sharing

Does my friend need the same phone as me?

No. Watch together works across iPhone, iPad and Android, so it makes no difference which one either of you is on. Your list lives with your account rather than your handset.

How do I add a friend?

By username, by sending them a private link, or by having them scan your QR code when you are in the same room. You can reset your link at any time, which stops every previously shared link and QR code working.

Can my friends see everything on my list?

Only if you add them. Your list is private by default and nothing is shared until you choose to share it. Any individual title can also be hidden from friends with one toggle, and you can revoke sharing whenever you like.

What is a taste match?

A score showing how closely your taste lines up with a friend's, alongside the titles you both have and the genres you share. It is a quick way to know whose recommendations to trust.

What if we have nothing in common?

Then Watch together shows nothing, which is itself useful. You can browse your friend's list the same way you browse your own and add something from it instead.

Settle it in seconds.

Free on iPhone, iPad and Android. Add a friend and see what you can both watch tonight.
