How To Delete All Your Comments On YouTube

If you have a bad history of comments or you just want to delete all your comments and start over, then that’s very possible. Although YouTube doesn’t offer a native way to delete comments in bulk, but there is a little trick that you can use to delete all the comments and replies you have ever made on YouTube.

In this post, I am going to show you how to delete all your comments on YouTube.

Delete all YouTube comments

Before we get into deleting all the comments, it’s good to view all your comment history and make sure nothing important is going to get deleted. From the YouTube left-side menu, click on “History” and then select “Comments” from the right panel. This will show you all comments and replies history. You can also individually delete comments here by clicking on the three vertical dots menu next to each comment.

To delete all the comments in one go, you can hide your channel temporarily which will delete all your comments and replies in the process. Once deleted, you can activate your channel again and your deleted comments will not be restored. Here’s how to do it:

From the left-side main menu, click on “Settings”. Afterward, move to the “Advanced settings” section and click on “Delete channel”. You will have to sign-in again.

Here click on “I want to hide my channel” and then click on the “Hide My Channel” button after checking all the options.

This will hide your channel content and delete all the comments. It can take some time to delete all the comments, so to stay on the safe side, you should activate your channel again at least after an hour.

To unhide your channel again, go to Create a channel page, and fill in the details for the hidden channel to activate it again.

Ending words

I really do wish there was an easier way to bulk delete YouTube comments, but for now, we will have to go with this nuke option. If there are important comments in your history, you will have to manually delete them one by one, which isn’t too difficult as YouTube lets you view all the comments in one place.

3 Ways To Keep Android Screen On When Idle

Most Android phones screen turn-off after 15-30 seconds of idle time. This is important to prevent excessive battery drain and keep your phone secure by locking it when idle. However, there can be situations when you may need to keep your Android’s screen on, such as when you need to watch a video or play a slow-paced game that doesn’t natively support screen-on feature.

Well, there are a bunch of ways to keep the screen on using both built-in features and third-party tools. In this post, I am going to show you 3 ways to keep Android screen on.

Method #1: Extend screen timeout from settings

This is the easiest option to keep your Android screen on. Although it comes with the limitation of only allowing max screen-on time of 30min, but in practice, 30min is more than enough. I personally only use this feature for keeping my Android screen on when needed. It might be cumbersome to tap on the screen every 30sec, but doing it once even 30min is surprisingly convenient. Here’s how to do it:

Go to the phone “Settings” and tap on “Display”.

Now tap on the “Sleep” option and select “30 minutes” from it.

Now your screen will only turn-off after being idle for 30min. You can still turn it off early using the power button.

Method #2: Keep Android screen on while charging

There is also another option to keep your Android’s screen on permanently, but it only works while charging your phone. If your phone will be kept idle while charging, then this is a great built-in option that offers permanent screen-on.

This function is actually available in the developer options of your phone. By default, the developer options are disabled on most Android phones, if you haven’t enabled it on your phone, then follow this step-by-step guide to enable developer options.

Once enabled, developer options should be listed at the bottom of the “Settings” or inside the “System” option in it. In the developer options, enable the “Stay awake” option.

Now your phone screen will not turn-off as long as it is being charged.

Method #3: Use a third-party app

This is the most powerful option to take complete control over the screen timeout of your phone. There are many apps on the Google Play Store that let you keep the screen on indefinitely when idle. I have tried many apps for this purpose and found Screen Timeout to be the best. It’s a feature-rich app that lets you control screen turn-off time in a plethora of ways. Although it is ad-supported, but it’s advanced features are not gated behind a paywall, unlike other similar apps.

After installing the app, you will first have to give it accessibility permissions so some of its advanced features could work. Afterward, tap on the “System sleep time” option to select the default sleep timer of your phone. Here you can select up to 24 hours as max sleep timer, unlike the default 30min max of your phone.

Interestingly, the app also lets you keep Android screen on for certain apps individually. So you can have 30sec timer on one app and 1 hour on the other.

Apart from this powerful control, the app also has some other interesting features to make the process convenient. Like you can allow the app to turn off the screen (no matter the sleep timer) when you put your phone inside your pocket to avoid accidental taps. It can also turn off the screen when the phone battery is low to avoid draining the battery.

Ending thoughts

For most users, I am sure the first method will work fine as 30min is sufficient time to watch something without touching the phone. However, if you want full control, then the Screen Timeout app is really amazing and gives you full control over when you want the screen to timeout. Let us know in the comments which one of these methods helped you keep your Android’s screen on.

5 More Chrome Extensions By Google You Simply Can’t Miss

It’s common for Google to make free to use apps and extensions for its popular products, such as Gmail add-ons or Android apps. Previously, I have covered some handy Chrome extensions made by Google. Since then, Google has launched a bunch more Chrome extensions that are really useful.

So today, I am here to talk about 5 more Chrome extensions by Google that I am sure you will find very useful. Let’s get straight to them:

1. Caret Browsing

This extension basically makes it easier to browse text-based web pages by making navigation similar to an editable document. You can move between text using the arrow keys and perform basic functions like selecting text and opening links with the keyboard. Of course, it won’t allow you to edit the webpage, think of it more like a “read-only” document.

In my experience, it works fine on most web pages. Although I did notice it sometimes stops working when a media file comes between text, but simply pressing the “Tab” key fixes it.

2. Link to Text Fragment

I have recently talked about this extension in detail, and I think it’s worth a mention in this post as well. Link to Text Fragment lets you create links pointing directly to a specific text section on a page. Instead of telling people to look for the text at a specific location on the page, you can use this extension to directly move them to that specific location when they open the link.

The extension works on the same principle as Google search where it links you directly to the searched information. However, currently the link can only be opened in Chrome 80+ and updated chromium based browsers.

3. User-Agent Switcher for Chrome

With this extension, you can spoof your Chrome browser to act like a completely different browser or even a different device for web pages. Although it might not be very useful for mainstream users, but I am sure developers will find it very useful. Developers can test their apps on different browsers and device types without even having access to them.

For regular users, it is useful when you need to access a mobile version of a web page. Just set as Android or iOS and it will open the webpage’s mobile version.

4. Suspicious Site Reporter

Suspicious Site Report, as the name suggests, reports you of suspicious sites when you visit them. The extension icon will turn orange when you will visit a site that has a suspicious behavior or is known for offering infected downloadable files. The extension also works for your downloads and will create a warning if an infected file is detected.

Furthermore, you can also report websites that you find suspicious or known for spreading malware and viruses.

5. Mindful Break

A simply motivational extension that shows motivational tips to think positively and do positive things. There isn’t any specific focus when it comes to tips, it could be a simple nudge to stretch a little, or a lovely quote to treat others nicely. However, whatever you read here will put a smile on your face and boost positivity. You can also go into options to set an interval to be notified to check a new mindful thought.

The extension also comes with a breathing exercise tool that helps you calm by following a simple 1-minute breathing pattern. If you are stressed out, I am sure doing this simple 1-minute exercise will calm you down.

Wrapping up

So these are some handy Chrome extensions by Google that you might be missing on. I personally love the Link to Text Fragment and Caret Browsing extension as they greatly help me in my day-to-day browsing. Which one of these Chrome extensions by Google did you like? Do let us know in the comments below.
