Here's how to delete your search history:

Method 1: Deleting Individual Searches (Quick Removal)

Open the YouTube app.

Tap the magnifying glass icon 🔍 in the top-right corner to open the search bar.

You will see a list of your recent searches with a clock icon next to them.

To delete a specific search term, tap and hold on that search term in the list.

A pop-up will ask, "Remove from search history?". Tap "Remove." The search term will disappear from your suggestions.

Method 2: Clearing Your Entire Search History (Complete Wipe)

Open the YouTube app.

Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner.

Tap on "Settings." ⚙️

Tap on "Manage all history." (This will likely open your Google Account activity controls).

Ensure you are on the "History" tab (usually selected by default). Look for the section specifically related to "YouTube History."

Find the "Search history" section or look for a "Delete" dropdown menu.

Tap "Delete." You will get options like:

"Delete today"

"Delete custom range"

"Delete all time" (Select this to wipe everything)

"Auto-delete" (You can set history to auto-delete after 3, 18, or 36 months).

Choose "Delete all time" and confirm the deletion. Your entire YouTube search history will be removed.

Pro Tip: Pause Your Search History

In the same "YouTube History" section within your Google Account settings (Step 5 above), look for the option that controls whether history is being saved. It might be under a "Subsettings" or "Controls" menu.

Find "Include your searches on YouTube" and turn the toggle OFF. YouTube will stop recording your searches until you turn it back on.

By following these simple steps, you can easily manage your YouTube search history and keep your viewing activity private! ✅
