How to See How Long You’ve Been Subscribed to Someone on YouTube

If you’re a long-term YouTube user, you may have found yourself wondering when you subscribed to a particular channel. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn’t provide this information directly on the platform. However, there are workarounds that can help you determine when you subscribed to a YouTube channel. In this article, we will explore different methods you can use to find out this information.

Method 1: Using xxluke.de

One way to view the date you subscribed to a YouTube channel is by using a third-party tool called xxluke.de. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Make Your Subscriptions Visible to the Public

By default, your subscriptions on YouTube are private. To enable the xxluke.de tool to collect your subscription information, you need to make your subscriptions visible to the public.

1. Open the YouTube app.
2. Click on your profile photo on the navigation bar at the top.
3. Select “Your channel.”
4. Click on the “Pencil” button.
5. Under Privacy, toggle the “Keep all my subscriptions private” option off.

Step 2: Get the Channel’s Link

To obtain the subscription information, you’ll need your own channel’s URL. Follow these steps to copy the link to your channel:

1. Open the YouTube app.
2. Click on your channel’s profile photo in the navigation bar at the top.
3. Click on “Your Channel.”
4. Tap on the kebab menu (vertical three-dot menu) in the navigation bar at the top.
5. Select the “Share” button to share your YouTube channel.
6. From the sharing options, choose “Copy link.”

Step 3: Paste the URL Into the Third-Party Tool

Now that you have the URL of your channel, you can use xxluke.de to find out when you subscribed to a specific YouTube channel.

1. Visit xxluke.de/subscription-history.
2. Paste your channel’s URL into the “Enter the Channel ID or URL” box.
3. Press “Continue.”

You will see a list of your subscriptions under the “Subscriptions” section. The date you became a subscriber will be displayed next to the channel’s name, in reverse chronological order. Scroll to the bottom of the list to find the first YouTube channel you subscribed to and so on.

Note: xxluke.de is a safe website with an active SSL certificate. It only requires your YouTube URL to view your subscription history.

Method 2: Using Google Account

If you have a Google account linked to your YouTube channel, you can also find out when you subscribed to a YouTube channel through Google’s own tools. Here’s how:

1. Open “My Google Activity” and choose “YouTube History.”
2. Once you’ve accessed your YouTube history, select “Manage History.”
3. Look for the section related to interactions and click on it.
4. You will find all your YouTube subscriptions and the exact date you subscribed.

This method provides an alternative way to find the information you need, especially for Google account users.

Unsubscribing from YouTube Channels

If you come across a YouTube channel that you’re no longer interested in or that has stopped creating content, you may want to unsubscribe. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open YouTube.
2. Select the hamburger menu (three lines in the top left corner).
3. Choose “Unsubscribe from channels.”
4. In the pop-up window, select “Yes, I want to unsubscribe from this channel.”

By unsubscribing, you will no longer receive recommendations from those channels.

Conclusion

While YouTube doesn’t provide a direct way to see when you subscribed to a channel, you can still find out this information using third-party tools like xxluke.de or through Google’s own tools if you have a linked Google account. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily discover the dates you became a subscriber to different YouTube channels. Enjoy exploring your subscription history and managing your YouTube experience!
