Today we will answer your “How to delete subscriptions on YouTube” query.

You are here, which means you, too, have finally realized how messy your YouTube homepage has turned into over the years. Based on your subscriptions, YouTube shows the most popular and newest videos of most YT channels you have subscribed to on your home page.

It’s time you decluttered, and what better way than to unsubscribe to channels you no longer enjoy.

YouTube has been around for almost 16 years now, so there’s a mammoth list of subscriptions that you must have assembled over the years.

Partly because YouTube has made the subscribing process very easy. It’s just clicking a single button placed right in front of you. However, deleting subscriptions isn’t made as accessible as subscribing to a YouTube channel. But that doesn’t mean you can’t unsubscribe to old forgotten YouTube channels.

It’s time you learn how to delete subscriptions on YouTube and tidy up your YouTube homepage.

Steps to Unsubscribe to YouTube Channels on iPhone

The process of deleting subscriptions is tedious when done on a desktop. It’s not just one or two channels we are deleting; it’s probably in hundreds, so it can be excruciating going through all those steps. Hence, we recommend doing it from your phone as it’s faster and straightforward.

Here are the Steps to Unsubscribe to YouTube Channels on iPhone:

• Open YouTube on your iPhone
• Tap on the Subscriptions option at the bottom.

• On the subscriptions page, click on “All” to see all the channels you have subscribed to.

• On the top left corner, there’s a filter option; select the “most relevant” as it will order all the subscribed channels in the order of their relevance. This means the least relevant ones will be easily available at the bottom of the list.

• Tap on Manage.

• Scroll to the bottom and start unsubscribing the YouTube channels you have lost interest in.

• You have unsubscribed to the channel.

Now that you know how to delete subscriptions on YouTube, clear out the unnecessary junk from your YouTube homepage. Make space for content that you actually want to engage with.

In all the hullabaloo of unsubscribing, let’s not forget the surprising benefits of subscribing to YouTube channels.
