Most people are unable to do it because they&#8217;re not aware that YouTube uses cookies to track user behavior. Fortunately, there are ways to clear your watch history, pause your history, and delete your own search history. Read on to find out how to delete YouTube search history on iPhone. Listed below are the steps you need to follow.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_uses_cookies_to_track_user_behavior\"><\/span>YouTube uses cookies to track user behavior<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube sets a tracking cookie on your computer to collect data about your use of the site. You can disable this cookie in your browser settings. By default, YouTube sets cookies for marketing purposes. The tracking cookie is not used to track your personal information when you view non-YouTube sites. But if you want to protect your privacy, you should disable the cookie. The GDPR law requires businesses to follow GDPR guidelines, so removing the tracking cookie can make your site faster and safer.<\/p>\n<p>Third-party cookies track your activity on YouTube. They store information in your browser and enable advertising, like what pages you view most often. If you visit YouTube using a link, YouTube will save a cookie in your browser. This cookie allows YouTube to track you until you delete it. Some people have expressed concern about third-party cookies, but these are not the only types of cookies used by YouTube. It&#8217;s important to understand what each cookie does.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_delete_your_own_search_history\"><\/span>You can delete your own search history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to delete your YouTube search history on iPhone. You can pause the history or erase the entire history. The latter option will prevent YouTube from saving any data or making personalized suggestions. The former option will not delete your past searches, though. In both cases, you will need to log in to your Google account. To delete your search history, follow the steps below. You should also be able to clear the cache of your web browser to prevent YouTube from tracking your searches.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the YouTube iOS app to clear your history. It is similar to the YouTube Android app in that it provides a feature that allows you to delete your history in one go. Simply open the profile icon and choose the options menu. Scroll down to the section called History and privacy. Once you are done there, click on the &#8220;Clear all search history&#8221; button. Then, select the items you wish to remove from the history by clicking the X button.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_clear_your_watch_history\"><\/span>You can clear your watch history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Clearing the YouTube watch history on iPhone can be difficult &#8211; but it is possible. Follow these steps to clear it completely. In the web browser, tap the three dots on the upper-right corner of your YouTube screen. Select Manage all activity, then tap the &#8220;Auto-delete&#8221; option. If you don&#8217;t want to delete the history, tap Pause. If you want to keep the watch history, you can pause it.<\/p>\n<p>You can clear the search and watch history on iPhone by following the instructions below. You can delete all of your history or a certain range of history. Using Incognito mode to clear your watch history won&#8217;t work on YouTube. The same goes for turning off the search history in your browser. But, if you&#8217;re concerned about privacy, you can set the settings to prevent the website from tracking your searches.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_pause_your_search_history\"><\/span>You can pause your search history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re concerned about your privacy while using YouTube, you can pause the history for that app. To do this, tap on the account icon on the top-left corner of your screen. Tap Settings. Scroll down to the section for History &amp; privacy. Tap pause watch history or search history. Tap PAUSE to confirm. Then, tap OK to continue. Your history will be deleted. This is not a permanent option and cannot be restored.<\/p>\n<p>There are ways to permanently delete your YouTube search history. First, you must log into your account. From there, choose &#8220;Clear All Search History.&#8221; To clear individual searches, tap &#8220;X.&#8221; On iPhones, you can also access the Settings cog and click the Clear History button. After doing this, you can use the app to search YouTube without any history. This is an easy way to prevent unwanted results from showing up.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_recover_deleted_searches\"><\/span>You can recover deleted searches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you delete a YouTube video from your iPhone, there&#8217;s a good chance that it&#8217;s still on the device. If not, you can use Disk Drill to recover deleted videos. This app works by scanning the disk and showing you the files that are recoverable. It can even tell you if the file is a lost cause or not. But how do you know if you&#8217;re likely to recover it?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve accidentally deleted a video, you can still recover it. To do this, open the YouTube app and search for the video by typing in the title. The result of the search will appear after you press &#8216;=&#8217; sign. You can then select the video and save it to the device&#8217;s memory. Similarly, you can use Stellar Photo Recovery to recover deleted YouTube videos. Hopefully, these tips will help you recover deleted YouTube videos on iPhone.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N2f0RtkAvcI\" height=\"235\" width=\"421\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete YouTube Search History on iPhone If you are wondering how to delete YouTube search history on iPhone, you&#8217;re not alone.
