Why Would You Want to View Your Past YouTube Comments?

Time for a YouTube Comment Clean-Up!

As a YouTube superfan, you’ve probably left a trail of comments on tons of videos. Ever thought about going back to see what you wrote? Here’s why it might be a good idea:

1. Get Rid of Outdated Comments: Sometimes, what you said before might not make sense now because things have changed. It’s okay to delete those comments.
2. Say Bye to Not-So-Nice Comments: If you’ve written something that now seems rude or mean, it’s a good chance to remove those words.
3. Fix Those Oopsies: Spotted a typo in your old comment? No worries, you can fix it!
4. Update Your Thoughts: Got something more to add to your previous comment? Go ahead and edit it with the latest info.
5. Share Your Comments Elsewhere: Found a comment you’re really proud of? You can find it again and share it outside YouTube.

Editing or deleting your comments is super easy. And remember, we’re talking about comments you’ve posted.

Managing Your Comments on YouTube (PC Version)

It doesn’t matter if you’re using a Windows PC, a Mac, or something else. Editing your YouTube comments is the same on any browser. Here’s how to spruce up your YouTube comments:

1. Open YouTube: Start your browser, head to YouTube, and make sure you’re signed in to your Google/YouTube account.
2. Find the Menu: On YouTube’s homepage, click the “hamburger icon” (it looks like three horizontal lines) on the top-left corner. A menu with things like trending videos, your subscriptions, and settings will pop up.
3. Go to ‘History’: In the menu, click on “History.”
4. Find ‘Comments’: On the right side, under “MANAGE ALL HISTORY,” click on “Comments.” This takes you to a page with all your comments.
5. Edit or Delete: Your comments will show up in order from newest to oldest. To delete a comment, just click on the “X” next to it. To edit, first click on “Commented on…” and then on the “vertical ellipsis” (three vertical dots) next to your comment. Hit “Edit,” make your changes, and don’t forget to save them!

How to View/Edit/Delete Your YouTube Comment History on iOS

Got an iPhone, iPad, or iPod? Great! You can easily keep track of and manage your YouTube comments, whether you’re using a browser or the YouTube app specifically for iOS.

Using the iOS YouTube App

Here’s the lowdown on cleaning up your YouTube comments on your iOS device:

1. Visit Google My Activity for YouTube: First, go to the Google My Activity page for YouTube comments. Sign in if you need to.
2. Stay on the Google My Activity Page: If your device asks if you want to open YouTube, hit “Cancel” to stay on the Google My Activity page.
3. Find the Comment: Tap the video that has the comment you want to remove.
4. Delete the Comment: Tap the “vertical ellipsis” (those three vertical dots) and choose “Delete.”

Using a Browser on iOS

2. Go to Your Data: Tap your profile icon, then select “Your data in YouTube.”
