Instructions on how to delete YouTube search history and ensure privacy

YouTube is a video sharing network that is popular with users all over the world but does not lack sensitive content. So if some people are willing to share all of YouTube's activities on Facebook for their friends, on the contrary, you may have to learn how to make sure people can't follow what they do on YouTube.

Simply because even without purpose, accidentally searching, viewing or clicking actions can become a cause of misunderstanding.

Here are 3 ways to ensure privacy on YouTube:

Keep the 'like' action private

If you don't notice, you will probably reveal to anyone who visits your YouTube profile that you just clicked on the video. To keep your privacy, you must:
