How to see all the channels you’re subscribed to on YouTube
Last reviewed: September 1, 2026 · Markdown version
Signed in, the full list lives at youtube.com/feed/channels. YouTube’s help pages describe the same destination from inside the Subscriptions view: “You can go to a list of your channels by tapping All, and filter your results using the drop-down arrow at the top.” Either route lands you on the same thing — every channel you follow, in one place.
What the list gives you
- Every subscription by name, in one scrollable list rather than scattered across videos you happen to be watching.
- A Subscribed toggle per channel, so you can remove one without leaving the page. This is the fastest route YouTube’s own tools offer, and for a few dozen removals it is genuinely fine.
What it doesn’t give you — and this is the problem
- No activity per channel. The list does not say when a channel last uploaded, so the ones that quietly stopped two years ago look identical to the ones you watch weekly.
- No upload frequency. It also doesn’t say which channels post several times a day — the ones doing most of the crowding in a feed that feels unusable.
- So the review is manual. The drop-down YouTube mentions filters the list, but neither fact ever appears next to a name — the only way to learn it is to open channels one at a time.
For a couple dozen subscriptions none of that matters. For several hundred it turns a list into a wall: you can see the names, you just can’t tell which ones still earn their slot without a few hundred individual checks. That review — not the tapping — is what makes people give up around channel twenty.
How long the list is allowed to get
Worth knowing while you scroll: YouTube’s help pages say “In general, you can subscribe to a maximum of 2,000 channels” — the “in general” is YouTube’s own hedge. The same page separately recommends staying under 5,000 channel subscriptions “to make sure the subscriptions feed and channel list give the best experience.” Two numbers, one message: the experience degrades before any ceiling stops you.
Where SubSense fits
SubSense reads that same list — sign in with Google and it organises the channels you follow into smart categories, and shows the two things the channels list hides: which channels have gone quiet and which flood your feed. The analysis happens on your device, with no third-party servers. Nothing is removed on your behalf: you review, you select, you confirm, and Undo re-subscribes you and puts the channel back in its category. The list stops being a wall once each name arrives with the one fact you were opening channels to find.
