"Mastering YouTube: The Ultimate Guide to Controlling Your Watch History and Recommendations"

YouTube users now have the option to turn off their watch history, resulting in a cleaner homepage with only the search bar and essential buttons. To pause your YouTube history, go to your profile image, select "Your data in YouTube," scroll down to "YouTube Watch History," and click "Turn off." You can also delete your past YouTube history by going to "Manage your YouTube Watch History" and selecting "Delete." However, it may take a few months for the changes to be fully implemented on users' homepages.
