A couple of hours ago, on running Youtube on Win 11, I got a message telling me my search history is off (it has been off for ages). It does this everytime I run YT.


I tried going into google to make it look like I was sorting it but it comes up every time I log in.


Looks like a new bug. It is a PITA.


I guess I am not the only one?

Yup I started getting the same thing in the YouTube app on my phone about a week ago.

It refused to show suggestions on the home page until I enabled watch history again.

I just found what is going on. YT has decided not to show any previous vids if you have watch history off. So you now only get this msge and the options available on the left side.
