How to see your subscribers on YouTube

The short version is to go to YT Studio, choose the Recent Subscribers card, and click See All. Use these procedures to access your YouTube Sub Count if it didn’t work the first time.

See YouTube subscribers on Desktop

1. Open YT on a browser.
2. Click on your profile picture.
3. Select “YouTube Studio” under ‘Purchases and memberships.’
4. You’ll see the ‘Recent subscribers’ card on the right side.
5. Click on ‘See All’ to open a new tab.
6. Click on the date dropdown list on the top-right corner.
7. Choose ‘Lifetime’ to see all your YT subscribers.

See YouTube subscribers on Your Phone

You cannot see the sub count on your Android or iOS app. But here’s a workaround.

1. Open your preferred browser on your phone.
2. Go to youtube.com. (It has to be opened in a browser tab).
3. Select the three dots on the top-right corner if you are using Chrome and ‘Options’ on Safari.
4. Select ‘Desktop Site.’
5. Now, go to Studio from your channel.
6. Select the Recent subscribers’ card in the Dashboard.
7. Choose ‘See all’ to review all your subs.

It should be noted that YT does not yet offer a mobile app for viewing channel statistics. So, this is not a recognized technique. Be warned that using a mobile browser to access the desktop site might not be ideal.

What if You Don’t See the Recent Subscribers Card?

The Recent Subscribers Card won’t appear on the Studio Dashboard for channels with 0 subscribers. You are unable to view this part as a result.

If the card is still hidden after 28 days and you are certain that you have acquired actual subscribers, think about troubleshooting your issue. Although it’s relatively uncommon, there could be a glitch or internal problem with your account.

3 Reasons You Can’t See YouTube subscribers

YouTubers value every subscriber since it requires a lot of work. However, occasionally they notice a few mysteriously vanishing accounts from their channel. Here are the explanations for why they aren’t included in your subscriber count, assuming you are confident that the accounts didn’t unsubscribe you on purpose.

1- The user’s subscriptions are private.

On your channel metrics, you may view the name and PFP of users who have made their subscriptions public. Although YT gives users the choice to keep that information private. You won’t be able to see their profile on the Recent Subscribers Card if they use this function.

2- The account is spammy. 

In order to keep the platform secure and free of spam, YT regularly monitors it. Therefore, users who are flagged as spam may be removed or suspended. All of their subscriptions will be cancelled after that. Therefore, as soon as the spam account is banned, you won’t see its name on your Recent Subscribers Card if it was one of your subscribers.

3- The user unsubscribed accidentally. 

The YouTube Support staff states that “Some viewers [unsubscribe] from channels by accident.” Therefore, it’s possible that the reason for your missing subscribers was a mistake made by the consumers. However, YT has incorporated a confirmation pop-up to ensure that such errors don’t occur frequently.

How to Hide Your YT Subscriber Count So No One Can See Them

In order for your viewers to concentrate on the content, you as a YouTuber may wish to keep your subscriber numbers private. Thankfully, there is a choice for that. This is how to apply it:

1. Open YouTube on a browser and log in to your profile/channel.
2. Click on your picture in the top-right corner.
3. Choose ‘YouTube Studio.’
4. Go to Settings on the left sidebar and select ‘Channel.’
5.  Choose ‘Advanced settings’ from the top navigation bar.
6. Uncheck Subscriber count.

Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to keep your subscription count a secret until you reach the 1,000 subscriber mark. After that, make sure to keep it public so that new followers may believe in the legitimacy of your channel and material.

You Can Hide Your Subscriptions too

You might also wish to watch other YouTubers’ video as a content provider. However, it is not necessary for your fans to be aware of your viewing habits or of your favorite creators. You have the option to make your subscriptions private on YouTube because of this. Here’s how to make it work:

1. Open YouTube on a browser.
2. Click on your Profile and select Settings under ‘Location.’
3. Go to the Privacy section on the left sidebar.
4. Toggle ‘Keep all my subscriptions private.’

Note: this option is active by default, and you don’t have to do anything if you haven’t made it public before.

Why Your Sub Count Does Not Change While People Subscribe to Your Channel?

Once your channel reaches 1,000 subscribers, YouTube stops displaying individual subscribers. Only when you add at least 100 new subscribers will the statistics be updated. You must add 1,000 new subscribers once you reach 100,000 in order for YouTube to update the subscriber count.

Your subscriber count will be updated each time you get 10,000 new fans if you are fortunate enough to reach the 1,000,000 milestone.
