YouTube keeps a history of the videos you watch. Having access to your activities makes it easier to find content you've watched in the past. It's practical, of course, but sometimes you don't necessarily want to keep track of your activities on the video platform. Fortunately, this allows anyone who wants to delete all or part of their history.
YouTube keeps a history of your activities on your Google account. These data also contain search history only videos that you have watched in the past few months.
