YouTube has just rolled out Incognito mode for all its Android users. Previously present for Chrome, the incognito mode for YouTube app doesn’t log what you watch, disabling your watch and search history.
YouTube automatically saves your viewing history and makes a record to your account. But, YouTube’s Incognito Mode seems similar to a private viewing mode on a web browser and it won’t keep the record of your history on YouTube app.
However, the app displays a couple of markers that do not go away when you are in incognito mode: the familiar icon with hat and glasses takes over your avatar, while a bar at the bottom clearly states that “You’re incognito.” When the mode is switched on, you can only access the Home and Trending options. If you try to go Subscriptions, Inbox and Library, you will get a blank screen and a notice that they will only be visible if you turn incognito off. The latest version of YouTube that comes with the new incognito mode is now available for download, so all you need to do is update your app.
