Seeing all of your previously liked videos on YouTube can be useful for finding videos you want to watch again or share with others. However, unlike playlists, there is no dedicated page that shows all your liked videos. Here are a few methods you can use to see your liked videos on both desktop and mobile.
Using Your YouTube History
One of the easiest ways to see your previously liked videos is through your YouTube watch history. This history shows all the videos you have watched and interacted with, including ones you have liked. Here’s how to view your liked videos this way:
- Go to YouTube and make sure you are logged into your account.
- Click on your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Select “Your data in YouTube” from the dropdown menu.
- On the left sidebar, click “History”.
- This will show your full watch history chronologically. Look for videos with a “Liked” label below them to see your liked videos.
Using your history makes it easy to scroll through and find liked videos. However, there is no option to only show the liked videos. Your full viewing history is shown instead.
Searching Your Likes
Another way to see your liked videos is by searching for them. YouTube’s search features allow you to enter “liked videos” as a search term and will return results based on your likes.
Here is how to search your liked videos:
- Go to YouTube and make sure you are logged in.
- Enter “liked videos” into the main search bar at the top.
- This will display a results page only showing videos you have previously liked.
- You can further filter by time period, sorting oldest to newest or newest to oldest.
Searching your liked videos makes it easy to only see these videos without your full history. However, you need to manually search each time instead of having a dedicated page.
Using Playlists
The most robust option for tracking your liked videos is to use playlists. By default, any video you like on YouTube is added to a “Liked videos” playlist on your account.
Here is how to view your liked videos playlist:
- Go to YouTube and make sure you are logged in.
- Click on “Library” in the left sidebar menu.
- Under the Playlists tab, you will see a “Liked videos” playlist.
- Click into this playlist to see all your liked videos in one place.
The liked videos playlist allows you to see all your likes organized in one easy place. You can also manage the playlist, removing any likes you don’t want saved.
Using YouTube Studio
YouTube Studio provides analytics and tools for content creators. One of the tools allows you to see detailed statistics on your liked videos, including how many you have liked and when.
To view your liked videos analytics:
- Go to YouTube Studio.
- Click on “Stats” in the left sidebar menu.
- In the Overview tab, scroll down to “Likes”.
- This section shows the total number of videos you have liked and graphs of your liking activity over time.
YouTube Studio provides great high-level data on your liked videos. However, you cannot see or access the individual videos from this interface.
Using YouTube Mobile App
The YouTube mobile app also makes it easy to see your liked videos:
On iOS
- Open the YouTube app.
- Tap on your profile picture in the top right.
- Tap “Liked videos”.
- This will open your liked videos playlist.
On Android
- Open the YouTube app.
- Tap on the “Library” tab.
- Tap on “Playlists”.
- Open the “Liked videos” playlist.
The mobile app provides an easy way to access your liked videos playlist. However, you cannot view your full watch history or search for likes.
Using YouTube Premium
YouTube Premium subscribers have access to additional features for finding liked videos:
- “Liked videos” playlist – Easily accessible from the sidebar menu.
- “Play it again” playlist – A playlist of your most replayed liked videos.

These features provide Premium users with more options for revisiting and managing previously liked videos.
Downloading Your Liked Videos
If you want to download any of your previously liked YouTube videos to view offline, here are a few options:

Browser extensions like Video DownloadHelper (Chrome) or YouTube Video and Audio Downloader (Firefox) allow one-click downloads of YouTube videos.

Online Converters

Revisiting Liked Videos
Once you have found your previously liked videos using one of the above methods, here are some ways you can revisit and get use out of them:
- Rewatch – Great for reminiscing and reliving fond memories of videos you enjoyed.
- Show friends & family – Share fun or informative videos you think they would appreciate too.
- Leave comments – Let the creator know you still like their content and engage with new comments.
- Add to playlists – Organize liked videos into custom playlists around topics or for future reference.
- Save offline – Download videos to watch without an internet connection.
Liking videos serves as a bookmarking function for finding videos to revisit. Take advantage by rewatching, sharing, and organizing your liked content.
Removing Liked Videos
If you no longer wish to keep track of a previously liked video, you can easily remove it from your liked videos playlist:
- Desktop – Open your Liked Videos playlist and click the remove icon next to each video you want to remove.
- Mobile App – Open your Liked Videos playlist, tap the 3 dot menu next to each video, and select Remove.
The video will be removed from the Liked Videos playlist and your profile. The YouTube video itself will not be deleted.
Conclusion

Using your History, Search, Playlists, YouTube Studio, Mobile App, and Premium tools makes it easy to access your liked videos. Revisit, share, organize, and manage your likes to get more out of the videos you care about.
