Tap on your profile picture or initial in the top right corner of the screen. Tap on Settings &gt; History &amp; privacy &gt; &#8220;Clear search history.&#8221; Confirm that you want to clear your search history by tapping on &#8220;Clear History.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article explains how to delete your YouTube search history and watch history on iPhone. After completing the steps, you will have deleted your history across all devices.<br>&#8211;<br>Removing YouTube <a href=\"https:\/\/brave.com\/learn\/delete-youtube-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recommendations<\/a> from your iPhone or iPad is easy. Just open the app and go to your account settings. Here you can see the option to delete entire YouTube watch history, clear your watch later videos and reset your recommendations. To delete just the search activity, tap on pause watch history and turn it off. For those using an Android smartphone, you can find the same options in Settings &gt; Account &gt; Privacy &amp; Security. Once you have deleted all of your watch history, it&#8217;s also a good idea to pause watch activity if you want to stop receiving any new recommendations based on what you have watched. This will help ensure that only videos that you manually search for are recommended to you on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To delete your YouTube history on an iPhone, first open the YouTube app. Then, go to your accounts search history and select &#8216;Clear Search History&#8217;. You can then choose to clear all of your searches or just one or two videos. To delete only specific videos from your account, you can select the three dots beside each video and select &#8216;Remove from watch history&#8217;. Follow these steps to clear both the search and watch history on an iOS device. For Android devices, the steps are similar but you will have to access YouTube from a web browser instead of through an app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-vivid-purple-background-color has-background\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Step<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Instructions<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Open the YouTube app on your iPhone<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tap on the three lines in the top left corner to open the menu<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Scroll down and tap on &#8220;History&#8221;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tap on the three dots in the top right corner<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tap on &#8220;History Controls&#8221;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tap on &#8220;Clear Search History&#8221;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Confirm that you want to clear your search history by tapping &#8220;Clear History&#8221;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">How To Delete Youtube Search History On Iphone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To delete your YouTube search history on iPhone, first open the app and go to your YouTube homepage. From there, you can erase your search history by tapping on the three vertical dots beside the Search Box and selecting &#8216;Remove History&#8217;. You can also remove recommendation videos by tapping on the &#8216;Clear Entire Watch History&#8217; option. After tapping clear history, you will receive specially tailored suggestions based on your YouTube activity but not based off of past searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To delete your YouTube search history on an iPhone, first enter into the browser settings. Scroll down and select &#8216;website data.&#8217; Tap Safari, then tap edit. From here, you&#8217;ll be able to select the data you want to delete and tap delete. This will bring you back to the previous screen where it shows all of Safari&#8217;s settings. Scroll down until you find &#8220;iCloud&#8221; and then select your name. Finally, tap &#8220;clear history and website data&#8221; at the bottom right side of your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Delete YouTube Search History on iPhone [2023]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/95sLd0ZCwQU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">How to Delete YouTube Search History on iPhone [2023]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This will clear out your entire browsing history, which includes any searches you have done on YouTube. You can also use the auto delete option to clear your YouTube search history at regular intervals. To enable auto delete, go to the settings page and select &#8220;set system&#8221; from the list of choices. This will give you the same choices as when you manually deleted your YouTube search history, except it will remember your searches for a much longer time period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Also read <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/ios-bug-report\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"73106\">Ios Bug Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Deleting YouTube search history is <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/why-you-should-delete-your-youtube-history-often-and-h-1848414082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">important<\/a> for many users who want to maintain their privacy when using YouTube. By deleting your YouTube search history, you can avoid having YouTube stores your searches and recommending similar videos. This can help improve your privacy reasons and delete users from being tracked or monitored by third-party companies. Additionally, if you are using a family device, deleting your watch history or comment history prevents others from seeing what type of content you have been viewing on YouTube. This will also help avoid data collection about our search habits by YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to delete YouTube search history on iPhone is to go to the YouTube app and choose the user profile icon in the top right corner. On this page, there are two options; &#8216;Clear Watch History&#8217; and &#8216;Clear Search History&#8217;. If you choose the &#8216;Clear Watch History&#8217; option, it will clear your entire watch history. However, if you want to avoid any data collection by YouTube, then it is best to choose the &#8216;Clear Search History&#8217; option. This option clears all related search history from your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To delete your YouTube watch history on your iPhone, go to the app and sign in with your account. Once you have logged in, you can use the search box to find particular videos or browse through account search options. When searching for specific video names or keywords, a drop down menu will appear with past searches. This gives you the option to clear all searches or find a specific video. To see a chronological list of what you have watched on YouTube, take a look at your watch history page under the search tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to delete your YouTube history, you can easily do so from the watch history page. You can remove a particular video from your watch history by selecting the remove option next to the video title. If there are embarrassing videos that you don&#8217;t want anyone else to see when they access your account, you can remove it from your YouTube search history. You can also remove music videos or any other type of video that you have been watching on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To manage your YouTube search history, you need to go to the YouTube app on your iPhone and then open the Settings option. You can then find the &#8216;Manage Your YouTube Search&#8217; section. There you will find a list of all the previously watched content and videos that are stored in your watch history. You can delete them one by one or clear out all of them at once. This way, you can keep complete privacy when it comes to what kinds of videos everyone is watching on YouTube and what stores our search information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Also read <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/ios-9-siri-suggestions\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"73102\">Ios 9 Siri Suggestions<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>To delete your YouTube search <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifewire.com\/clear-youtube-search-history-4165188\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">history<\/a> on an iPhone, open the YouTube app. From the app menu, tap your profile icon in the top right corner of your screen.
