how to see when you subscribed to a youtube channel

To see when you subscribed to a YouTube channel, you need to access your YouTube subscription history through your Google account activity. Here are the steps:

1. Go to your Google Account and sign in.
2. Navigate to the "Data and Privacy" section.
3. Scroll down to find "YouTube History" and click on "Manage History."
4. In the menu on the left side, click on "Interactions."
5. Scroll down and select "Channel subscriptions."
6. You will see a list of all the YouTube channels you've subscribed to, sorted by date.
7. Click on a specific channel to see the exact date when you subscribed to it.

This method works even if you have cleared your YouTube watch history or made your watch history or subscriptions private. It shows the subscription date next to each channel. Alternatively, you can use a third-party tool like xxluke.de by entering the channel ID or URL to see your subscription date. This guidance is based on recent tutorials and Google account settings from 2025 for both mobile and desktop users.
