You may want to unsubscribe from a YouTube channel that you no longer find useful, subscribed to by mistake, or that you’ve simply lost interest in. Unsubscribing from a YouTube channel will stop you from being notified when new videos are released and can help to clean up your YouTube recommendations. Whatever the reason, you can easily unsubscribe from a YouTube channel using your web browser or by using the YouTube mobile app using the steps below.
How to Unsubscribe from a YouTube Channel on a Web Browser
The easiest way to remove a YouTube subscription from your account is to use your web browser. You can control your account preferences (such as your current channel subscriptions) from the YouTube website on your PC, Mac, or Chromebook. You can also unsubscribe from a channel while watching one of its videos—just click on the Subscribed button below the video and confirm your action to remove the subscription.
How to Unsubscribe From a YouTube Channel on the YouTube Mobile App
If you prefer to use YouTube on your mobile device, you can control your subscriptions using the app. To remove a YouTube subscription on mobile, follow these steps. Like PC users, you can also unsubscribe from a channel while you’re watching one of its videos. Below the playing video (outside of fullscreen mode), tap the Subscribed button to remove the subscription—you’ll need to confirm that you want to unsubscribe when you do this.
Managing Your YouTube Account
Thanks to the steps above, unsubscribing from YouTube channels is a quick and easy process that you can complete from a PC, Mac, or mobile device. Removing channels you don’t watch anymore from your subscription list will limit the notification spam, but you can always disable your YouTube notifications to help this further. Struggling with the amount of ads you’re seeing while a video is playing? You can always look at different ways to block YouTube ads, from a YouTube Premium subscription to other methods, such as using a VPN.
