can my friends see what I'm watching ? without the xbox one guide?

Hey there JUENO80!

Your friends will only see "Watching TV". Hope that helps!

I kinda miss when my friends check their friend list to see what you're watching. Now it just says "Watching a TV Show or Movie." Gave them a little taste of what I liked to watch.. lol. Thought it changed my options to hide what I'm viewing in my Xbox
settings, but it's allowed.

Hi, my name is Marvina and I will be happy to help you.

I'm sorry you have this problem. Follow the instructions below for a solution.

These are the steps you are doing?

There are several ways to see what your friends are doing on Xbox.

To take a look at what everyone is doing:
Press the Xbox  button to open the guide.
Select Home, then go to Friends & Community Updates. This shows your friends' recent activity.

To reduce it:
Press the Xbox button  to open the guide and select Contacts. You'll see which friends are online and how many of them are playing.
Select the list of those who are online to see what they are doing, like playing games or watching Netflix.

Select your gaming friends list to see what they're playing and on what platform: console, PC, or mobile.
Note Platform icons only appear for platforms other than the one you're currently using to view your friends list.

To view the activity of a specific friend:
Press the Xbox button  to open the guide and select Contacts.
Choose a friend and select View full profile. You'll see activity like your friends' screenshots and achievements.

I hope I can help you solve it.

Unless I'm missing something, no. Xbox does not share specific details as to what's being watched within the apps where your friends can see.

I'll see if I can find more about that and if there is a fix.

I like the account with Plex because it enables me to share the content of the server remotely with my friends account , so the can watch what's on the server without having to be connected to my network.
