If you’re a regular viewer of YouTube, chances are you’ve subscribed to a ton of channels over the years. While it’s easy to subscribe to a channel, it’s not always as straightforward to unsubscribe. But don’t worry, there’s a trick to make it quick and easy.
First, let’s find out how many channels you’re subscribed to. You can find this out by going to youtube.com on a desktop browser. The number of channels you’re subscribed to will be at the bottom left under subscriptions. If you don’t see that menu, try zooming out a little bit on your web browser.
Now, let’s go over the quickest way to clean up your subscriptions list. This process is a lot faster if you use your mobile phone. Open up the YouTube app on your phone and tap on “subscriptions” at the very bottom. Tap on “all” at the top right, and then sort your subscriptions by most relevant or those showing the newest activity. Next, tap on “manage” at the top right and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list. Swipe left on any of the channels you want to remove and tap “unsubscribe” to confirm. Repeat those steps until your subscription feed is squeaky clean.
One more YouTube-related trick: if you want to know when your favorite YouTubers release new videos, you can turn on notifications. Go to settings on your phone, tap on “notifications,” scroll down to “YouTube,” and choose to receive a notification when your favorite YouTubers create a new video.
And that’s it! Now you know how to unsubscribe from YouTube channels and keep your subscription feed organized. Trust us, your future self will thank you.
