How to see all the channels you’re subscribed to on YouTube

Last reviewed: September 23, 2026 · Markdown version

Signed in on the web, youtube.com/feed/channels opens a page YouTube titles “All subscriptions” (checked 23 September 2026). In the mobile app, YouTube's help describes getting to a list of your channels from inside the Subscriptions tab: “You can go to a list of your channels by tapping All, and filter your results using the drop-down arrow at the top” (YouTube Help: Subscribe to YouTube channels, read 23 September 2026). Either route gets you a list of your channels in one place.

What the list gives you

One place for your subscriptions, rather than scattered across videos you happen to be watching. On the web the page carries a “Most relevant” sort control (checked 23 September 2026); in the app, the help above mentions a drop-down to filter it.
No documented way to unsubscribe from it. YouTube's help describes removing a channel from under one of its videos — “Under the video player, click Subscribed”, then Unsubscribe (YouTube Help: Subscribe to YouTube channels (computer), read 23 September 2026) — one channel at a time. For a few dozen removals that is genuinely fine.

What it doesn't give you — and this is the problem

No last-upload date. The most YouTube's help mentions is a dot: “When a channel you subscribe to has new content, you’ll see a dot next to the channel name” (YouTube Help: Subscribe to YouTube channels, read 23 September 2026). It describes no date, so nothing documented separates a channel that stopped two years ago from one you watch weekly.
No upload frequency. Nor does the help describe any count of 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 YouTube documents neither fact 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 the job feel endless.

How long the list is allowed to get

Worth knowing while you scroll: YouTube's help page on subscribing says “In general, you can subscribe to a maximum of 2,000 channels” — and the very next sentence says that limit “grows as your YouTube channel does” (YouTube Help: Subscribe to YouTube channels, read 23 September 2026). 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 Adinand Channel Sorter fits

Adinand Channel Sorter 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.
