Can I See Who My YouTube Subscribers Are?
Yes, but only subscribers who have their subscriptions set to Public. Anyone subscribed to you who doesn’t have that setting set to Public won’t appear in your list of subscribers but will be included in your total subscriber count.

How To See Who's Subscribed To You On Desktop
To view your most recent subscribers, you’ll first need to visit your channel dashboard via YouTube Studio.
To access it manually, click your profile picture on the top right corner of the YouTube page.
Choose YouTube Studio.
From here you should see a Recent Subscribers card.
Click See All.
You can choose a timeframe from the top to determine which subscribers are shown. You can also sort the list by subscriber count.
Why Don’t I See A Recent Subscribers Card?
You’ll only see your Recent Subscribers card if your subscribers have their subscriptions set to public AND if they subscribed to your channel within the last 28 days. If one or both of these conditions aren’t met, you won’t see the card at all.
They also might not appear if their account is suspended or identified as spam by YouTube.
How To See Who Is Subscribed To You On Mobile
To view your most recent subscribers, open the YouTube Studio app on your iOS or Android device.
From the channel dashboard you should see a Recent Subscribers card.
Tap See All.
You can change the timeframe from 28 days to up to 365 days to determine which subscribers are shown, as well as sort the list based on subscriber count.
I’m Not Seeing The Recent Subscribers Card!
Unfortunately you can only see your Recent Subscribers if the following conditions are met:
-
Your subscribers have their subscriptions set to public
-
They subscribed to your channel within the last 28 days
-
Their account is NOT suspended or identified as spam
If these conditions aren’t met, you won’t see the Recent Subscribers card at all.
Can YouTubers Tell If You Are Subscribed?
Yes, only if you have your subscriptions set to Public. And it’s not just YouTubers - anyone can see who you’re subscribed to if you have your subscriptions set to Public visibility by navigating to your channel page.
How To Change Your Subscription Visibility
If you’d rather not have this information publicly accessible, you can hide your subscriptions by following the steps below:
Click your profile picture and select Settings.
From the left hand menu, select Privacy.
Toggle Keep All My Subscriptions Private to ON.
Can YouTubers See Who Unsubscribed?
No, the only way a YouTuber would be able to determine this is:
-
They saw you on their Recent Subscribers list and later you no longer appeared there
-
They saw your public subscriptions on your channel page, and later noticed that they weren’t listed there.
Can YouTubers See Their Subscribers' Search History?
No, your YouTube search history is private and only visible to you or anyone else who has immediate access to your YouTube account.
YouTube content creators don’t have access to this information, though they do have access to general demographic data via YouTube Studio including:
-
When their audience is active on YouTube
-
Other channels their audience watches
-
What types of videos their audience watches
-
Age and gender
-
Device type
-
Geographic location

How To Get More Subscribers On YouTube?
Now that you know who your audience is, you might be interested in expanding that audience. There are a few straightforward ways you can begin increasing your subscriber count, including one industry secret you may not have considered.
Pay Attention To YouTube SEO
The video title, thumbnail alt text, meta description, and video tags are all important aspects of creating YouTube content that can help or hinder your position in the search results.
YouTube SEO (or Search Engine Optimization) refers to the elements involved in helping your video rank in both YouTube’s in-platform search results and on larger search engines like Google. Don’t slack on picking a title or writing your video description - every keyword matters!
Take a look at our free in-depth guide on how to choose YouTube tags to get started.

Does YouTube Show Who Your Viewers Are?
No, YouTube won’t show the video creator specifically who watched their video but they do have access to aggregate data including audience demographics, location, and viewing habits.
Keep in mind that if you publicly engage with a video through comments or comment replies, the creator will be able to see that and they can safely assume that you’ve watched the video as well (though this might not always be the case).
How Do I Find Out Where My YouTube Viewers Are From?
You can access your YouTube views analytics via your YouTube Studio creator dashboard by following the steps below:
Open YouTube Studio.
Click Analytics on the left hand menu.
Click the Audience tab.
Scroll down past the graph until you see the Top Geographies card.
Click See More.
From here you can adjust the timeframe, specific metrics, and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is 1000 subscribers worth on YouTube?
That depends on how engaged your subscribers are, the type of monetization options you have on your YouTube channel, and any outside revenue streams you’re working with. You can learn more about YouTube monetization here.
How many subscribers do you need on YouTube to make money?
It all has to do with the quality of your subscribers. If they’re engaged and regularly watch your videos, don’t skip ads, subscribe to your channel memberships, buy merch, and pitch in on Patreon you could earn a solid monthly income with just a handful of subscribers. On the other hand, if you have thousands of subscribers who barely interact with your content you might earn mere pennies.
Who has the most YouTube subscribers?
As of 2025, MrBeast has the most YouTube subscribers with a total of 415 million subscribers.
How do you check when you subscribed to someone on YouTube?
Check out our guide on how to view your full YouTube subscription history.
How do I check who is watching my YouTube video?
You won’t be able to see specifically who is watching your videos, but you can learn more about your audience from your YouTube Studio analytics. See how to access them here.
Does YouTube automatically unsubscribe viewers from channels?
No, YouTube has repeatedly denied the existence of ‘automatic unsubscriptions’.
Do all of my videos show up in my subscribers' Subscription feeds?
Yes, but the Subscription feed is in chronological order so if the specific subscriber is subscribed to a ton of channels then your video might get drowned out. Your videos might not always appear in the Home tab, however, because that’s customized based on algorithmic recommendations.
How does YouTube count subscribers?
YouTube will only count subscribers from accounts that are not flagged as spam, suspended, or closed.
Do closed accounts count toward my subscriber count?
No, closed accounts no longer exist on YouTube therefore they don’t count as subscribers.
Do spam accounts count toward my subscriber count?
Accounts flagged as spam don’t count towards your subscriber count, so if you’re buying YouTube subscribers be sure that you’re ordering them from a reputable provider who only offers real YouTube subscribers and doesn’t deal in bots.
Why is my subscriber count changing or dropping?
Every so often YouTube mass-deletes subscribers. While they claim that this is just the case for spam accounts or closed accounts, sometimes legitimate subscribers can get lost in the fray. If you notice a sharp decrease in your subscriber count, YouTube recommends contacting their support with details.
