YouTube maintains a record of videos that you watch and this becomes your YouTube Watch History. Similarly, YouTube keeps a record of Search terms that you type in the search bar and this becomes your YouTube Search History.

While your watch and search history helps Google in bringing up Videos that align with your taste and interests, it also allows others that have access to your device to see what you watch on YouTube.

Hence, YouTube provides the option to protect your privacy  by clearing your YouTube Watch and Search History on iPhone and also the option to clear YouTube history from other devices that gets linked to your Google Account.

1. Clear YouTube History While Not Signed-in

If you are not signed in to YouTube, you can clear both your watch and search history on iPhone by following the steps below.

1. Open YouTube app > tap on Profile Icon located at top-right corner and select Settings in the menu that appears.
