Google is introducing a new feature to Search, which will let users add movies and TV shows to a watchlist.
The search-engine giant, in a blog post, said that it is introducing a ‘Watchlist’ tab on mobile so that users “can keep track of what to watch next.” It is currently available for mobile users only.
To use this feature, one must browse through personalised recommendations by searching for “what to watch.” Following that, one is required to simply click on ‘Watchlist’ in the preview window to add any show or movie of one’s choice to the list.

Google will also allow you to move between your recommendations and the ‘Watchlist’ tab so that you can keep track of what’s already been saved.
In order to quickly access their full watchlist, users must search for ‘my watchlist’ or click on ‘Collections’ in the Google app.
According to NDTV, Google’s watchlist was first seen in December last year, but it was limited to certain markets.
Google is also introducing new features for Android TV, an operating system designed for set-top boxes, soundbars, TVs and digital media players.
