Disney+ tips and tricks – how to create watchlists, find your favourite movies and request shows

FINALLY signed up to Disney+? We've rounded up some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of it.

Disney fans are already fawning over the huge back catalogue of content – so follow our guide to maximise your new binge-watching habit.

How to create watchlists

Creating a watchlist is easy, and a great way to store TV shows and movies you want to view later.

Simply go to the page for any piece of content and then press the plus (+) icon.

This will add it to your watchlist, which you can find in the left-hand menu.

You can add items to (or delete content from) the watchlist at any time.

How to find your favourite franchises

See those big brand logos at the top of the Disney+ app homepage? They're not there as advertisements.

Instead, they'll navigate you directly to all of the content within that franchise.

So when you tap on Star Wars, you'll get a long list of all of the Jedi-related media available on Disney+.

It makes it really easy to find TV shows and movies from your favourite franchises.

How to change your profile picture

You can create different profiles on Disney+, and each one can have its own unique image.

To do this, go into Disney+ and then go to Settings and then Edit Profiles.

Then tap on the profile picture icon and you'll be able to choose from a long list of images.

You can't upload your own snaps, but there are plenty of Disney-themed ones to choose from.

Download content

If you're using the mobile Disney+ app, you can download content to watch offline.

So when you're on a long flight or camping without good mobile signal or WiFi, you can still watch your Disney+ favourites.

Simply go onto a movie or TV show and then look for the downwards arrow icon.

This will download the content to your device so you can watch it without an internet connection.

However, bear in mind that this will take up space on your phone or tablet – so don't download too much if you're always low on storage.

Request new shows

Disney+ is absolutely rammed with amazing and entertaining content.

But if you think something is missing, don't be afraid to ask.

You can go into the Disney+ Help Centre, then head into Give Feedback and tap Request a Film or Show.

That will file your request with Disney+, and if enough people ask for the same thing, it might just end up on Disney+.

Be mindful, however, that some pieces of content may never end up on Disney+, so don't be too disappointed if you don't get your way.
