Google is infamous for aggressively testing out new and unnecessary features at regular intervals on YouTube. However, most of the time the changes don’t seem to be in sync with the user’s needs and requirements. Recently, YouTube introduced the Play Something button and it has been bashed left, right, and center. Now, they have added another entry to this list.
Many users are voicing their concern that they’re noticing YouTube History Missing after the latest update. As if the unnecessary introduction of the “You” section wasn’t enough, the disappearance of the History section has also infuriated the users.
If you have been facing this issue, then this guide will be helpful. In this guide, you will get to know how to fix YouTube History Missing After You Profile Update.
How to fix YouTube History Missing After You Profile Update?
Method 1: Downgrade the YouTube app
Your first course of action must be to downgrade the app to its previous version by removing the latest updates. After that, you’ll be able to disable auto updates from the Google Play Store. Otherwise, the latter would update the app to the latest build and nullify the fix. Here are the steps you should follow –
- First, go to Settings -> Apps -> See all apps -> YouTube
- Then, you should tap on the overflow icon before selecting Uninstall Updates -> OK
- Now, head over to Play Store and look for “YouTube”
- Tap on the overflow icon
- Make sure to uncheck “Enable Auto Updates”
- Check if the YouTube History Missing option is resolved
Method 2: View in incognito mode
While this may fix the issue to an extent, the contents that you’ll be getting on your feed are unlikely to be in sync with your requirements. If you’re not phased by this, then you can go to the You section and tap on “Turn on Incognito”. Check if this fixes the issue.
