Youtube users videos based on their search history. However, there are times when we don't want some videos that we watched to appear in our history. YouTube has solved this problem with its new incognito mode feature in its Android app.
The incognito mode for YouTube is only available for Android smartphone users so far and there’s no information about it rolling out to iOS devices (iPhones and iPads). However, Google recently added a similar feature that enables users to restrict history tracking on its Gboard and Google apps for iOS devices.
Now, if you are wondering how to use this incognito mode in YouTube app, here’s a step-by-step guide:
Pre-requisites:• Android smartphone with the latest version of the YouTube app.

In the Incognito mode, the avatar icon will be replaced by a Black Incognito symbol and there will be a Black bar at the bottom with a message ‘You’re incognito’.
Once you have gone incognito, you can browse and watch any video you want and the app will no longer save it in your search history.
