Restore YouTube history: does it work?
In your YouTube history you will find all videos that you have viewed so far. If you have accidentally deleted it, you can unfortunately no longer restore it. This applies to both the playback and search history. So that this does not happen to you again, we have put together a few tips for the YouTube history.
Delete YouTube playback history individually
- If you do not want some videos to be displayed in your history, you do not have to delete the entire playback history. There is a gray "X" behind each displayed video. This will delete the corresponding video from the history.
- You can also easily pause the recording of your history with one click. You will find the "Pause playback history" button next to "Delete entire playback history".
Youtube search history - here you have the same options
The same options as for the playback history are also available for the search history. If you delete the entire search history, this is also irrevocably deleted.
- If you do not want certain search queries to be displayed, you do not have to delete the entire search history either. You will find a gray "X" behind each search term displayed. This will delete the corresponding search from the history.
- Like the playback history, you can also pause the search history and turn it back on just as easily if necessary.
Turning off your YouTube video recommendations is easy. We explain in the next practical tip how exactly.
