Your searches and watched videos won't appear in your YouTube history while in Incognito mode and your usual recommendations won't be impacted by your Incognito activity.
It's important to note that Incognito mode doesn't make your activity entirely invisible.
Your internet service provider, school, or employer might still be able to see your browsing activity.
Incognito mode is perfect for when you're using someone else's phone or a public device.
Considerations
It is a simple, powerful tool for private moments on the platform.
By following these steps, you can protect your viewing habits and keep those surprise birthday present searches under wraps!
