Yify · Guide

Find something worth watching.

Start with a trailer, build a shortlist, then check where a title is available in your country. Yify brings those steps together so you can decide what to watch before opening a streaming service.

Updated

1. Choose a title

The home shelves offer starting points such as newly added and highly rated movies. “Just Added” describes when a title entered the catalogue; it does not mean the film was released this week. Use Movies to filter by genre or minimum rating, or sort by year when you have a particular kind of film in mind.

Open a title to read its synopsis, compare the running time with the time you have, and watch a trailer when one is available. Ratings come from catalogue providers and are one signal, rather than Yify’s own review or a guarantee that you will enjoy a film. A trailer is a preview; playing it does not start the full movie.

Save a promising title instead of deciding immediately. You can return to it in your watchlist, while Preferences → Account → History helps you find titles you opened earlier.

2. Set your viewing country

Streaming catalogues differ by country. Choose the country beside Where to watch, or use Preferences → Account → My streaming services. Select the country where you intend to watch, then choose the services you use there. A service or title offered in one country may be absent in another.

You can select a country manually without giving location permission. Use current location is an optional shortcut to detect your country once. Changing the country changes the availability lookup; it does not change a streaming account’s billing country or bypass a provider’s regional restrictions.

Your selected services are preferences, not connected accounts. Yify does not ask for your streaming passwords, verify your subscription tier, or sign in to those services for you.

3. Understand the viewing options

A provider can offer a title in several ways. Check the offer type before following the link:

Viewing links open TMDB’s regional watch page, where you can follow the provider’s offer. You finish signing in, checking the price and starting playback on the provider’s own service. Yify’s supporter subscription removes ads placed by Yify; it does not include subscriptions, rentals or purchases from streaming providers.

4. Turn a shortlist into a decision

In Watchlist, choose your services and select Check availability. For a longer list, use Check next to look up the remaining batch. The checked-title count tells you how much of your list has been looked up.

On my services matches checked subscription, free and ad-supported offers against your saved service choices. It excludes rent and buy offers. Select the exact service or channel you use: a provider’s standalone subscription and its add-on channel can be separate entries.

Unchecked titles can be hidden by that filter, so an empty filtered list does not necessarily mean none of your saved films is available. Finish checking the remaining titles or turn the filter off to see the whole list.

For example, if you have ten saved films and only four have been checked, the filter can only match those four. Checking the other six gives you a more complete shortlist. After watching something, mark it watched or organize it into a collection to keep your next choices easy to find.

5. When a title or service is missing

Availability can change after an offer is listed. Confirm the exact title, region, subscription tier and price on the provider’s site before paying. Yify cannot unlock a provider’s catalogue or promise that every platform, edition or country is covered.
