How To Reset Youtube Recommendations On iPhone?
- The primary method used by YouTube to recommend videos on the home screen is based on your search history. The algorithm takes note of the words you type into the search bar and the videos you've watched to display similar content that you might like. Additionally, your watch time, clicks, and shares also play a role in recommending videos. If you finish watching a video or click on related content, the algorithm will know you enjoyed it and display more similar videos.
- To reset your recommendations, you'll need to delete your YouTube history. You can do this by opening the YouTube app on your iPhone, selecting your profile, tapping on "Settings," and then choosing "History & Privacy" followed by "Clear Search History." If you want to clear only a portion of your YouTube history, you can select "Manage Your YouTube Search History" and pick a custom timeframe or choose from preset options like the last hour or day.
- It's also possible to set up automatic YouTube History deletions to keep your recommendations fresh. Once you've cleared your history, you can pause your watch history to prevent others from influencing your recommended videos.
- Keep in mind that YouTube also takes into account your liked videos and playlists when making recommendations, so a complete reset is not possible. However, clearing your history can remove older recommendations that don't align with your interests.
How To Reset Youtube Recommendations On Android?
- The mobile versions of YouTube, whether it's on Android or iOS, work the same way. You can reset your YouTube recommendations on an Android device by following similar steps as mentioned above for an iPhone.
- To reset your YouTube recommendations on an Android device, launch the YouTube app, tap on your profile image located at the top-right corner, select "Settings," and then look for "History & Privacy." Choose "Clear Search History" to reset your recommendations.
- Alternatively, you can also use the second method, which is also applicable to Android devices. Open the YouTube app on your Android device, tap on your profile picture, select "Your Data In YouTube" in the pop-up menu, and then scroll down to find "YouTube Search History." Tap on "Manage Your YouTube Search History" and then choose "Delete" under "Search Your Activity." From the list of options, select "All Time" and repeat steps 5-7 for your watch history. Wait for the process to complete, as YouTube needs time to reset the recommendations.
- To pause your watch history on Android, follow these instructions: open YouTube on your Android device, tap on your profile picture, select "Settings," navigate to "History & Privacy," and then turn on "Pause Watch History."
- After following these steps, your recommendations will reset after some time. Keep in mind that the changes may not surface immediately, so some patience is necessary. If you're waiting, you can also terminate the app.

What Is Youtube TV?
Live TV streaming is available through the paid service YouTube TV from a number of networks, including ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. You may cut the cord on your cable and save up to $500 a year thanks to its over 85-channel lineup. There are no additional fees or contracts that bind you for a set duration of time.
There are no local channel costs, cancellation fees, broadcast fees, rental box fees, or DVR fees, in contrast to regular cable. Among YouTube TV's standout features are:
- Popular Channels: PBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV, and Nickelodeon are just a few of the well-known channels available on YouTube TV.
- Unlimited Cloud DVR Storage: This is available to subscribers. The video can also be paused, fast-forwarded, and reminded.
- Multiple Accounts: You can access up to six accounts and three streams per household with a single subscription.
What Are The Benefits Of Youtube TV?
- According to what you've already viewed, YouTube TV makes personalized recommendations to you. Additionally, the Live tab allows you to navigate through all the channels.
- You can stream your recorded films anywhere you go, and there is no restriction on the number of simultaneous recordings. A single subscription allows six family members to record their favorite shows in distinct accounts because each account receives a personal library.
- Nine months are allotted for the storage of recordings in the YouTube TV DVR, giving you plenty of time to view or watch them again.
