How to unsubscribe all channels from your Android application for YouTube?
This is the easiest and the most basic approach for unsubscribing from all the YouTube channels that you have subscribed to. However, this method is very time-consuming and practically not feasible for those who have subscribed to hundreds of YouTube channels. But if you have plenty of time or if you are ready to invest that much time to refresh your YouTube account, read on. Here are the simple steps to unsubscribe from all YouTube channels that you have subscribed to:
- Open the YouTube application from the apps tray.
- As the app opens the homepage, you can see five icons at the bottom of your screen. Tap on the icon in the middle – the one that says ‘Subscriptions.’ This is where you can find all the channels that you have subscribed to and the latest updates on each of these channels.
- Next, tap on the ‘All’ option that you can find on the top right corner of your screen. This will open into an alphabetical list of all those channels that you have subscribed to.
- Next, tap on ‘Manage.’ You can find this option again on the top right corner of your screen.
- Now, tap and hold on any channel’s name until you see the red button of ‘Unsubscribe’ appear on the right side.
- Tap ‘Unsubscribe’ and wait one or two seconds.
- After a second (time can vary according to the speed of your internet), the name of the channel will turn grey, and you will receive a notification at the bottom of your screen that says that you have unsubscribed from that channel.
- Repeat the 5th and 6th step for all the other channels to unsubscribe from them.
How to unsubscribe all YouTube channels from the browser of your Android?
This is again a very time-consuming procedure as you have to individually unsubscribe from each of those channels that you added to your subscription. But they are super easy. So, if you are not great at technical skills, you can follow these easy steps to delete all channels from your subscription list:
- Open the chrome homepage of the homepage of your favorite browser.
- Go to YouTube in the browser that you have chosen.
- Tap on the ‘Subscriptions’ option present at the bottom of your screen.
- Next, tap on the ‘>’ icon present just below your profile picture at the top corner. The page opens into a list of all those channels that you have subscribed to.
- Tap on the name of any channel. Once you do that, the browser leads you to the page of that channel. There you can see a grey colored ‘Subscribe’ option on the left side of your screen, just below the profile picture of that channel.
- Tap ‘Unsubscribe’. Just as you do that, a confirmation message pops on to your screen.
- Tap ‘Unsubscribe’ again, and the channel will be deleted from the subscription list of your Youtube account.
- Repeat the 5th, 6th, and 7th steps for each of the channels in that list to refresh your YouTube account.
The quickest method to unsubscribe all YouTube channels from your YouTube account
“But what if I don’t have that much time to scroll through the entire list and work on each channel individually?” And “What if I have subscribed to hundreds of channels and I don’t want to spend too much time on unsubscribing from each one of them?”. Don’t worry; we can help you with a fantastic method to mass unsubscribe from all the YouTube channels in the subscription list of your YouTube account.
This process can sound a little bit tricky and complicated to some people, especially for those who are not familiar with codes as it involves copying and pasting codes on your PC. But, we can guarantee you that it is a tried and tested method to unsubscribe from all YouTube channels in one go.
So here the steps for the very same process. This method can only be performed on a laptop or PC and not on an Android mobile phone.
- Open your YouTube profile on Google Chrome on your PC.
- Tap on ‘Subscriptions’.
- Scroll till the bottom of the page to reach the end of your list.
- Right-click anywhere on the screen.
- Tap on ‘Inspect Element’ or ‘Inspect’.
- Tap on ‘Console’ or ‘Ctrl+Shift+J’.
- Next, copy-paste the code mentioned below onto the ‘Console’ tab.
var i = 0;
var myVar = setInterval(myTimer, 3000);
function myTimer () {
var els = document.getElementById(“grid-container”).getElementsByClassName(“ytd-expanded-shelf-contents-renderer”);
if (i < els.length) {
els[i].querySelector(“[aria-label^=’Unsubscribe from’]”).click();
setTimeout(function () {
var unSubBtn = document.getElementById(“confirm-button”).click();
}, 2000);
setTimeout(function () {
els[i].parentNode.removeChild(els[i]);
}, 2000);
}
i++;
console.log(i + ” unsubscribed by Saint”);
console.log(els.length + ” remaining”);
}Just in case this code doesn't work for you, which happens with a few users, we are giving you another code that you can use. Follow the same steps mentioned above, but instead of pasting the code mentioned above, copy this one and paste on the 'Console' tab.
var i = 0;
var myVar = setInterval(myTimer, 200);
function myTimer () {
var els = document.getElementById(“contents”).getElementsByClassName(“ytd-subscribe-button-renderer”);
if (i < els.length) {
els[i].querySelector(‘.ytd-subscribe-button-renderer’).click();
setTimeout(function () {
var unSubBtn = document.getElementById(“confirm-button”).click();
}, 500);
setTimeout(function () {
els[i].parentNode.removeChild(els[i]);
}, 1000);
}
i++;
console.log(i + ” unsubscribed”);
console.log(els.length + ” remaining”);
