How to See YouTube Comments by Me

Introduction: Why You May Need to See Your Own YouTube Comments

People look for their own YouTube comments for different reasons. Some want to check if their comment received a reply, some want to delete an old comment, and others are trying to find whether YouTube removed or shadow-filtered their comment. Sometimes you comment from different devices and forget which video it was. Sometimes a comment goes viral and gets hundreds of likes, so you want to revisit it. In other cases, people want to edit or refine a comment, especially on professional or public channels.

YouTube comments are tied to your Google account. If you switch accounts, log in on another device, or use YouTube without signing in, you may not see your comments. The platform also hides comments occasionally due to spam detection. All these details make it important to learn exactly where and how to find your comments the right way.

This guide works for:

Android users
iPhone users
Windows and macOS desktop users
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge browsers
YouTube App users
YouTube Studio users
TVs and Smart Devices

Each method is explained in detail so you can follow it easily.

Section 1: Understanding How YouTube Stores Your Comments

Before jumping into steps, it helps to understand how YouTube handles comments behind the scenes.

YouTube stores your comments inside Google My Activity, linked to your account. It records every comment you post, edit or delete. Your comment history is kept even if the video owner turns comments off later. However, if the video is deleted, removed, privatized or blocked in your region, your comment might not appear in history anymore.

YouTube also categorizes your comments into:

Public comments – visible to everyone
Held for review (on other channels if they review your comment)
Likely spam (hidden automatically)
Deleted by YouTube
Deleted by you

Public comments are the ones you can find easily, but the hidden ones behave differently. Many users believe YouTube is “deleting” their comments when actually it is placing them under spam filtering. Understanding these internal categories helps you avoid confusion later when searching for your comments.

Section 2: Quick Overview — The Fastest Way to See Comments You Posted

The quickest method is:

YouTube → Menu → History → Comments → “YouTube Comments” Page

But this is only one method. In the long detailed sections below, we cover every device and problem.

Section 3: How to See Your YouTube Comments on Desktop (Full Step-by-Step Guide)

If you are using a computer or laptop, this is the simplest and most stable method.

Step 1: Open YouTube in a Browser

Go to YouTube using Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Make sure you are signed in. If you are not, sign in using your Google account.

Step 2: Click the Left Menu (Three Lines)

On the top left corner, click the menu icon. This expands the navigation area.

Step 3: Click “History”

In the left menu, click “History”. This opens your video watch history.

Step 4: Look at the Right Side Panel

On the right side of the screen, you will see several options:

Watch History

Posts

Click “Comments”.

Step 5: YouTube will redirect you to Google Activity

When you click Comments, YouTube sends you to the YouTube Comments Activity Page. This shows a list of all comments you have ever posted.

Step 6: Review the Full List

Every comment you have posted will appear in:

chronological order
clickable video links
full comment text
edit and delete options

This is your complete comment history.

Section 4: How to See Your YouTube Comments on Mobile (Android & iPhone)

The method on mobile is slightly different because the app does not directly show the comment section like the desktop version. But you can still find everything through YouTube history.

Method 1: Using the YouTube App

Step 1: Open the YouTube App

Make sure you are logged in with the correct Google account.

Step 2: Tap on Your Profile Picture (Top Right)

A small menu will open.

Step 3: Tap “Your Data in YouTube”

Scroll down a little if needed.

Step 4: Tap “More” under “Your YouTube Dashboard”

Here you will see multiple categories. Look for Comments.

Step 5: Tap “Manage your YouTube Comments”

This will redirect you to the YouTube Comments Activity page in your mobile browser.

Step 6: View, Edit, or Delete Comments

You can now see all comments posted across all videos.

Method 2: Using a Mobile Browser

If you want a more desktop-like experience on your phone:

Step 1: Open Chrome or Safari

Step 2: Type “youtube.com”

Step 3: Tap the three dots (Chrome) and choose “Desktop Site”

Step 4: Follow the same steps as the Desktop method

This gives you the full left-side menu with History → Comments.

Section 5: How to Use YouTube Studio to See Your Comments

YouTube Studio is mainly for creators, but even normal users who upload videos sometimes want to track comments they posted under their own videos.

Step 1: Go to studio.youtube.com

Step 2: Log in

Step 3: On the left menu, click “Comments”

This page shows:

All comments made by viewers on your videos
Your replies to those comments
Comments you posted under your own videos

However, it does not show comments you posted on other people’s videos. For that, use History.

Section 6: How to See Deleted, Hidden or Removed Comments

Not all comments appear in your history. Sometimes a comment disappears because:

The video is deleted
The comment was flagged
YouTube marked it as spam
YouTube removed it automatically
The channel owner removed it
You deleted it, but want to check if it still exists

Let’s look at each case.

Deleted by Channel Owner

If the channel owner removes your comment:

It disappears from the video
It disappears from your history
You cannot recover it
You cannot see who deleted it

This is a normal YouTube behavior.

Deleted by YouTube (Spam Filter)

YouTube removes comments containing:

too many links
repeated text
offensive or abusive words
copy-paste style comments
suspicious keywords

These comments do not appear in your history because YouTube removes them entirely.

Deleted by You

If you deleted your comment manually:

It will still appear in your comment activity page for some time
But the video link may show “Deleted Comment”
After some days, YouTube may remove it completely

Video Deleted or Made Private

If the video was:

Deleted
Private
Unlisted
Blocked in your country

Your comment disappears from the list, because the video no longer accepts comments.

How to Check if Comment Still Exists

Open your Comment Activity page → Click on the video link.
If the video opens and the comment is still visible, then it is fine.
If the video gives an error, your comment is gone.

Section 7: How to Search for a Specific Comment You Made

Sometimes you want to find only one comment instead of scrolling through hundreds.

Here’s how to search.

Method 1: Use Browser Search

Open your comment history → Press:

CTRL + F (Windows)
CMD + F (Mac)

Type any word you remember from your comment.

Method 2: Search the Video

If you know the video:

Open the video
Go to the comments section
Type a keyword in the comment search bar ( desktop only )

YouTube highlights matching comments.

Section 8: How to Edit or Delete Comments You Posted

From your comment history:

Click three dots beside the comment
Select Edit
Or select Delete

Editing updates the comment immediately on the video.

Deleting removes it permanently.

Section 9: Why Your Comment Might Not Appear Publicly (Shadow Removal)

Sometimes you see your comment but others don’t. This is called shadow filtering.

Reasons:

Too many comments in a short time
Using promotional text
Using phone numbers
Using repeated emojis
Commenting on political or sensitive videos
Violating comment guidelines

YouTube hides your comment from others, but you can still see it.
This makes it look like your comment “exists”, but for other users, it is invisible.

Section 10: How to Make Sure YouTube Does Not Hide Your Comments

Follow these rules:

Avoid copy-paste text
Do not add too many emojis
Post meaningful, unique comments
Avoid external links
Avoid offensive language
Do not use repeated promotional tags

If you follow these guidelines, your comments stay public.

Section 11: Accessing YouTube Comment History from Google Account Interface

You can also find your comments directly from Google without opening YouTube.

Step 1: Go to myactivity.google.com

Step 2: Click “Other Google Activity”

Step 3: Scroll to “YouTube Comments”

Step 4: Click “View Comments”

This page shows the same history, but sometimes it updates faster.

Section 12: How to Export All Your YouTube Comments

Google Takeout allows you to export your comments as a file.

Steps:

Go to takeout.google.com
Select YouTube and YouTube Music
Choose “Comments”
Click “Export”
Download the ZIP file
Open the Takeout folder
Find your Comments.json file

This file contains every comment you have ever posted.

Section 13: How to Track Replies to Your Comments

You can turn on Comment Notifications.

Steps:

Open YouTube
Click Profile Picture
Tap Settings
Tap Notifications
Turn on “Replies to your Comments”

Section 14: How Parents Can View Their Child’s Comments (Supervised Accounts)

Parents can check their children’s comment activity if using Family Link.

Steps:

Select Child’s Account
Tap YouTube Activity

Section 15: How to See Your YouTube Comments on Smart TV

Smart TVs do not show your comment history.
But if you open a specific video and scroll to the comments, your comment will show with your profile icon.

To see full comment history, you must use a phone or computer.

Section 16: Using Third-Party Tools (Not Recommended)

Many apps claim to show all your YouTube comments, but they are unsafe.
Third-party tools may:

steal your Google account
track your personal info
violate YouTube policies

Only use official methods explained in this guide.

Section 17: How to Recover Lost Comments

Sometimes a comment feels “lost” even though you know you posted it.
To recover it:

Step 1: Check Comment History Page

Step 2: Check Video Owner’s Filter

Step 3: Check Spam Folder (You cannot see it but creator can)

Step 4: Check if Video is Deleted

Step 5: Check if Your Account Switched

Step 6: Check if YouTube Removed It

If none of these restore it, the comment is permanently gone.

Section 18: What Happens to Your Comments if You Change Your YouTube Channel Name

When you change your channel name:

Old comments remain under the new name
Nothing disappears
All activity stays linked to your Google ID

This makes it safe to change your channel name anytime.

Section 19: What Happens if You Delete Your Google Account

If you delete your entire Google account:

All your comments on YouTube disappear permanently
They show as “Deleted User”
Videos you uploaded are also removed

There is no recovery after this.

Section 20: How to Manage a Large Comment History

If you comment frequently on many videos, your comment list becomes long.
Here are tips to manage it:

Tip 1: Keep a bookmarked folder for important comments

Tip 2: Use YouTube Playlists to group related videos

Tip 3: Export comments monthly

Tip 4: Delete spam-like comments

Tip 5: Turn on notifications

Good organization helps you track everything.

Section 22: Why YouTube Hides or Removes Comments Automatically

YouTube uses machine learning to detect:

hate speech
threats
spam
fake promotions
bots posting repeated content

If your comment triggers these rules, it disappears even if your account is genuine.

Section 23: How to Appeal Removed Comments

At the moment, YouTube does not provide a direct appeal button for removed comments.
The only way is to edit the comment and repost it with updated wording.

Section 24: How Businesses and Creators Track Their Comments
