Technical News Office – Nowadays, everyone uses YouTube. It is the world’s largest platform for watching videos online. To use it, we often have to log in with a Google account. Every time you watch a video on YouTube, its details are saved in the watch history. Many times we don’t want anyone to know what we saw. Therefore, there is a nice feature on YouTube, which will take care of your privacy. Just like you use incognito mode on an internet browser, a similar feature is also present on YouTube. This feature ensures that information about the videos you watch on YouTube is not saved on the app. If you also want to use this feature, read this article till the end.
YouTube private browsing mode
The feature we are talking about is called “YouTube Incognito Mode”. Whenever you want to watch a video that you don’t want to show to others, you can use this feature. When Incognito mode is enabled, the YouTube app works exactly as if no one was logged in.
How to use incognito mode
Incognito mode prevents anyone from accessing information like your watch history and subscriptions. Follow these steps to use this mode.
Open the YouTube app on your phone.
Tap your account icon on the screen.
Here you select the “Enable incognito mode” option.
If this is your first time using this mode, press “Got”.
keep this in mind
When this feature is enabled, the profile icon will look like Chrome’s incognito icon. Additionally, you will also see “You are incognito” written. If you remain inactive in Incognito mode for more than 90 minutes, the mode will automatically turn off. When you open it, it will tell you that you are no longer in private browsing mode.
