How to Remove YouTube For You from Channel Video Page

In this guide, we will show you the steps to remove the For You section from a particular YouTube Channel Video page. While it’s no denying the fact that this offering from the search engine giant is the best video streaming platform, one can also not deny the fact that Google treats it as its UI/UX testing ground. Every other week, it keeps on adding or removing features from its app, and that too in the stable build so that the entire user base is the sufferer!

And if by mistake it ends up doing the testing on the app’s beta build [which should have been the norm, to begin with], then it doesn’t make any difference either as it will end up incorporating that change, irrespective of the beta tester’s opinions. The latest one to make its way is the new For You tab on a specific YouTube Channel Video page.

To get this job, you’ll have to downgrade YouTube to its earlier build which didn’t have this section.

So grab hold of that APK from here and then refer to our guide on How to Downgrade a System App on Android.

That’s it. These were the steps to remove the For You section from a particular YouTube Channel Video page. As far as the official stance on this matter is concerned, the developers are aware of this issue, but they haven’t given out any ETA for the rollout of a fix. As and when that happens, we will update this guide accordingly. In the meantime, the aforementioned workarounds are your best bet.
