当您经常使用 YouTube 时，您收到的推荐和通知数量可能会变得不堪重负，尤其是当您订阅了许多经常上传新视频的频道时。
默认情况下，当您订阅新频道时，您将开始收到个性化通知。YouTube将在您的智能手机和计算机上向您发送电子邮件、通知，以及您在平台上的活动亮点。
好消息是您不必取消订阅或阻止 YouTube 频道(block YouTube channels)即可摆脱这些通知。如果您不希望手机或电子邮件中充满这些消息，请了解如何关闭和管理YouTube通知。
YouTube 通知(Difference Between YouTube Notifications)和订阅源(Subscription Feed)有什么区别？
用户有时会将 YouTube 通知与他们在订阅源(Subscription feed)中看到的内容混淆。当您访问YouTube并选择菜单(Menu)>订阅(Subscriptions)时，您会发现您的订阅(Subscription)源，其中包含您订阅的频道中最近上传的所有视频。
通知会告诉您有关您订阅的频道的最新视频和更新。当您打开 YouTube 时，选择您的个人资料图片旁边 的铃铛图标以访问通知窗口。(bell icon)
当您订阅频道时，您的 YouTube 通知会自动设置为Personalized。这意味着您只会收到有关来自频道的选定上传和直播流的通知。在这种情况下，YouTube 算法(YouTube algorithm)会根据您的观看历史记录、订阅列表和网站上的其他活动来决定您收到哪些通知。
此处的其他两个选项包括所有(All)通知，这意味着您将收到有关频道的各种活动的通知，以及None，这会关闭来自所选频道的所有通知。

How to Turn Off and Manage YouTube Notifications
When you use YouTube frеquently, the amount of recommendations and nоtifications you receive can get overwhеlming, especially if you’re subscribed to many channels that upload new videos often.
By default, when you subscribe to a new channel, you’ll start getting personalized notifications. YouTube will send you emails, notifications on your smartphone, and on your computer as well containing highlights of your activity on the platform.
The good news is you don’t have to unsubscribe or block YouTube channels to rid yourself of those notifications. If you don’t want your phone or email to be filled with those messages, learn how to turn off and manage YouTube notifications.
What’s the Difference Between YouTube Notifications and Subscription Feed?
Users sometimes confuse YouTube notifications with what they see on their Subscription feed. When you go on YouTube, and select Menu > Subscriptions, you’ll find your Subscription feed with all recently uploaded videos from the channels you’re subscribed to.
Notifications tell you about the latest videos and updates from the channels you’re subscribed to. When you open YouTube, select the bell icon next to your profile picture to access the notifications window.
When you subscribe to a channel, your YouTube notifications are automatically set to Personalized. That means you’ll only receive notifications about selected uploads and live streams from the channel. In this case, the YouTube algorithm decides what notifications you’re getting, based on your watch history, your list of subscriptions, and other activity on the site.
The other two options here include All notifications, which means you’ll get notified about every kind of activity of the channel, and None, which turns off all notifications from the selected channel.
How to Turn Off YouTube Notifications
There’s a number of reasons why you might want to turn off your YouTube notifications. Maybe you feel that you recently started getting too many notifications, or notifications from channels that you’re not interested in. It could be that you specifically don’t want to receive notifications via email or push-notifications on your smartphone or desktop.
There are three general ways to turn off your YouTube notifications: via the channel settings, account settings, or your device settings. We already covered how to do it via the channel settings – by selecting None from the notifications options under a video from a channel you’re subscribed to. If you don’t feel like going through all of your subscribed channels one by one to turn off notifications, you can turn all notifications at once using your YouTube account settings.
You can do that both on your computer and your mobile. To turn off YouTube notifications on your computer, follow the steps below.

How to Manage YouTube Notifications On Your Desktop

To choose what YouTube alerts you about, open YouTube on your desktop, select your profile picture and follow the path Settings > Notifications.
At the top of the Notifications window you’ll find the General section. Here you can choose whether or not to receive alerts about your subscriptions, recommended videos, activity on your own YouTube channel, activity and replies on your comments, mentions, and shared content. To turn the notifications on or off, toggle the switch next to them.
At the bottom of the same window you’ll find the Email notifications section. Here you can set up the YouTube notifications that you want to receive by email.
How to Manage YouTube Channel Notifications On Your Smartphone

- Open the YouTube mobile app and sing into your account.
- Select Subscriptions at the bottom of the screen.
- Select All to open the list of your subscribed channels.
- Select Manage.
- Select the bell icon next to a specific channel to manage the notifications.

Improve Your YouTube User Experience
There are numerous YouTube tips, hacks, and shortcuts that you can use to improve your user experience on the platform. Being able to choose what alerts you receive from YouTube is one of them.
