Alternative ways to enhance privacy
To further protect your privacy, adjust settings directly in the YouTube app. Tap your profile picture, choose "Settings," then "Privacy" or "History & Privacy." Toggle "Keep all my liked videos private." To remove specific likes, go to "Your Data in YouTube," select "Manage your YouTube Watch History," choose "Video Likes and Dislikes," and delete the desired video. Enabling Incognito mode also prevents liked videos from being saved or publicly displayed.
