How to FULLY disable Discover & Watchlist/Streaming Services

Summarising the current situation for users who just want to turn off Discover:

  • Currently can’t be fully disabled
  • Managed users won’t see it in sidebar or searches (only in Watchlist).
  • As main Plex user, to not have it in home screen, just unpin from sidebar.
  • As main Plex user, to disable it in searches, start a search and click the setting icon, unselect it from “Search in…” list.
  • It will appear in Watchlist for main user and managed users, there’s no way to disable, so for now don’t use Watchlist.
  • Proper settings management is apparently coming in a future update.
