First, sign in to your YouTube account. Second, go to the top-left corner of the window and click on the &#8220;History&#8221; link. This section shows your search history, broken up into categories. Click on each one to delete it or you can clear all search history. You can also go to the Search History page to clear your entire list. Once you&#8217;re done, click on the &#8220;Clear all search history&#8221; button to clear your browsing history.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Incognito_Mode\"><\/span>In Incognito Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re using your computer in Incognito Mode, you might worry that your history will be accessible. While this isn&#8217;t entirely true, you&#8217;re still vulnerable to malware that can track your browsing activities. By flushing your DNS, you can prevent websites from tracking you. However, if you have a compromised account or page, your history will remain accessible. You can also try a tool known as an anonymous web browser.<\/p>\n<p>A recent study showed that despite the fact that you&#8217;re browsing in Incognito Mode, Google can still track your browsing activity. These records may include things like which videos you&#8217;ve watched and which ads you&#8217;ve seen, despite your browser&#8217;s Incognito mode settings. However, you shouldn&#8217;t worry. You can still protect yourself and your online identity with these tools. Just remember that the most popular sites still have their own privacy policies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_in_to_your_YouTube_account\"><\/span>Sign in to your YouTube account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To find your search history on YouTube, sign into your account. You can access it in two ways. The first is by using the browser. You can do this by going to the settings menu of your account. In the account settings section, you can find the &#8216;Search History&#8217; option. Clicking it will reveal the items you&#8217;ve searched for. It also has the &#8216;X&#8217; button next to each. To clear all your search history, tap the X button.<\/p>\n<p>If you have trouble signing in to your YouTube account, your browser is most likely to be the cause. If you&#8217;re unable to login, open the Chrome browser and click the More options menu. Scroll down until you find &#8220;Clear browsing data.&#8221; This will delete all the cookies and cache from the last four weeks. Alternatively, you can try to log in to your YouTube account using your Gmail account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_your_YouTube_search_history\"><\/span>Check your YouTube search history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do you check your YouTube search history? The first step is to visit the settings of your account. If you use the site frequently, you&#8217;ll probably have several different types of searches. Perhaps you don&#8217;t want the site to suggest videos based on your search history. If you&#8217;re sharing your account with others, you might also want to hide your search history. Luckily, it&#8217;s relatively easy to clear your history.<\/p>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll need to sign in to your account. Once you&#8217;re signed in, click on the &#8216;history&#8217; button at the top of the page. You can also tap on the watch icon to view your search history. This will show you the search terms that you&#8217;ve used on YouTube, including videos you&#8217;ve watched in the past. Make sure you&#8217;re careful to confirm that you want to delete the history because it affects all of your devices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_your_YouTube_search_history\"><\/span>Delete your YouTube search history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube saves your search history and all of the videos you&#8217;ve watched when you use the platform. You can delete your search history by going to the settings of your account and choosing the history and privacy option. Alternatively, you can choose to pause your search history, so that the information you&#8217;ve submitted is not kept for as long. Alternatively, you can click the three-dot menu icon beside any comments and select &#8220;Clear all search history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Delete your YouTube search history can be done quickly and easily by following the steps below. Depending on your device, you may need to repeat steps if you wish to erase a single search. You can also pause your search history to prevent tracking by YouTube. Delete your YouTube search history by touching three vertically spaced dots on your device. This will prevent YouTube from tracking you. After you&#8217;ve done so, you can continue browsing YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_your_YouTube_watch_history\"><\/span>Delete your YouTube watch history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do you delete your YouTube watch history? YouTube collects data about your watch behaviour for the purposes of recommending relevant videos to you and other users. Depending on your settings, you can even get recommendations based on your family members&#8217; streaming habits. Delete your YouTube watch history for more personalized video recommendations from YouTube. However, you should be careful when deleting your history, as YouTube treats each user account as an independent entity.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, deleting your YouTube watch history is not a complicated process. There are several methods available, but here are a few that you can try. In addition to the usual method, you can also use the mobile version of the site or its mobile app to remove the history. However, you should note that deleting your history once is permanent. You can use Elmedia Player to watch videos in privacy and in private. Lastly, you can also use PullTube to download videos.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"230\" width=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A8_VudpZvCI\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Find My YouTube Search History?
