Disney Plus Has Finally Added Resume and Restart Buttons
Disney+ has been working on resolving issues with their streaming service.
They've finally rolled out "resume," "restart" and "add to watchlist" buttons.
Disney+, the long-awaited streaming platform home to everyone's favorite childhood TV shows, Marvel movies and the upcoming Lizzie McGuire reboot, finally launched last week, but its debut wasn't as flawless as expected. Fans reported experiencing tech issues that prevented them from streaming and connecting to the service. Disney said that they had been "surprised by the size and magnitude" of the number of people who subscribed and were working to resolve any issues. Though people were eventually able to connect, many were disappointed by some of streaming service's shortcomings.
For one, there was no option to start watching a show from where you left off. If you left a series, you would have to rewatch it from the beginning or manually figure out where it was you stopped watching.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Disney+ seems to be lacking a "continue watching" or any sort of watch history for you to remember where you left off. Seems like a glaring omission in a pretty smooth and otherwise flawless app. #DisneyPlus

Well, here's some good news: Disney+ finally delivered what everyone's been waiting for. According to WDW News Today. The streaming service added "Resume," "Restart" and "Add to Watchlist" options on the individual pages for each series.
Unfortunately, they still haven't added a "Continue Watching" feature on the home page, so you still have to search for the shows you've watched, but with so many updates rolling out, we can only expect that'll happen soon.
If you still aren't seeing the features on your end, they'll probably appear shortly.
And if you're one of the ones who's resisted the temptation to sign up, you're seriously missing out and it's not too late. You can sign up for Disney+ here.
