If you’re a Roku user and find the “Recommended for You” section on your Roku channel to be less than helpful or too intrusive, you might be wondering how to remove it. The “Recommended for You” feature is designed to personalize your Roku experience by suggesting content based on your viewing habits. However, if you prefer to browse channels and content manually, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to disable or remove the “Recommended for You” section on your Roku channel.
Step 1: Access the Roku Settings
To begin, navigate to the Roku home screen by pressing the home button on your Roku remote. From there, scroll to the left or right to find the gear icon, which represents the Settings menu. Press the select button to open the Settings menu.
Step 2: Go to the “System” Section
Within the Settings menu, scroll down to find the “System” section. This section contains various options related to your Roku device’s general settings.
Step 3: Select “Update Channel List
In the “System” section, you will find an option called “Update Channel List.” This option is responsible for refreshing your Roku device with the latest content and channel updates. Select this option to proceed.
Step 4: Choose “Manage Recommendations
After selecting “Update Channel List,” scroll down to find the “Manage Recommendations” option. This is where you can control the “Recommended for You” section on your Roku channel.
Step 5: Turn Off Recommendations
Once you have selected “Manage Recommendations,” you will see a list of options related to personalized content suggestions. To remove the “Recommended for You” section, scroll down and select “Off.” This will disable the personalized recommendations feature on your Roku channel.
Step 6: Confirm Your Selection
After selecting “Off,” you may be prompted to confirm your choice. Press the select button to confirm that you want to disable the “Recommended for You” section.
Step 7: Return to the Roku Home Screen
