How to See How Much Time You've Spent Watching YouTube Videos

YouTube's “Time watched” feature uses your watch history across platforms to calculate your daily average watch time and total watch time. This wikiHow will help you use the YouTube app to find out how much time you've spent watching YouTube videos.

EditSteps

Open the YouTube app on your Android or iOS device. The YouTube icon looks like a white Play button on a red rectangle. Log in to your YouTube account, if you haven't already done so.
- Make sure that your YouTube app is up to date, because this feature isn't available on older versions of the app. If it's not, go to the Google Play Store or App Store and update your app.
Tap on your account icon, at the top-right corner of the app. The account menu will open up.
Tap on . It will be the second option. This will open the statistics tab.
Review your watched time statistics. You can see your daily average watch time and how long you’ve watched YouTube videos today, yesterday, and in the past week.

EditTips

You can also access the “Take a break reminder” feature, “Autoplay” settings and “Notifications” settings from the "Time watched" page.
This feature is only available on the YouTube app, but it will count any videos you've watched through your YouTube account on other devices, too.

EditWarnings

If you have paused or disabled the YouTube watch history, the time watched statistics will not be available.
Videos you have deleted from your watch history or videos you’ve watched in Incognito mode will not be included in these statistics.
