YouTube just introduced a new Incognito mode in its Android application. If you have been using the Google Chrome browser lately, you must have seen the Incognito mode there. The Incognito mode opens a new tab. All of your activities taking place in the Incognito mode are not logged. This means there is no record of your activities that were done using that Incognito mode. It has a very similar purpose for the YouTube application. Incognito mode in YouTube, in fact, is a great feature. Especially, for a user like me who doesn’t want to get lame suggestions on his YouTube homepage.
YouTube, when launched in the Incognito mode, will not keep a track of your search queries and your activity in the application. This means you will not see the same songs playing again and again on their own. You will also not see the same homepage again and again. This is one problem that I’ve seen a number of users reporting about. Using the YouTube’s normal window, you will not find any new content popping up on its own. You will, instead, have to find the new content using a search query.
The YouTube Incognito mode is also great for those who are using a temporary device and do not want to leave the traces of their activity on it. The mode will come in handy when you want to do some research work as well. YouTube has incorporated this mode in the latest version of its Android application. If you are using an Android handset, it’s time to update your YouTube application in order to start using this mode.
