So if you’re missing the old dislike button on YouTube this article, we are going to talk exactly about that, and we are going to answer this questions: how to view dislikes on youtube? Is it even possible? Is it possible to view YouTube dislikes on mobile?

If you’ve been a user of YouTube for a long time, you know that YouTube decided to remove dislikes in 2021, before that, you were able to see likes and dislikes. Well, when that happened, some people didn’t like the choice of YouTube and decided to take that matter in their own hands.

That’s why there are a few solutions that are not official, so to say, but they allow you to restore YouTube dislikes in a pretty solid way.

The Youtube Dislike Viewer

As I told you, a really solid solution, almost like the official solution, is using a particular famous browser extension called “Return YouTube Dislike”.

This extension was created after YouTube officially removed the dislike feature. So from that point until now, it is a database that contains all the dislikes, but only on videos and for people that have installed the installation and use it. It may contain some dislikes that were archived from before YouTube disabled the dislikes.

That means that, obviously, you cannot view the official YouTube dislikes that were prior 2021, simply because this is an application that someone else created and it saves his own data, meaning the dislikes of various videos, and obviously requires that people install this application and press the dislike button to update the status of the video.

Since it is one of the most used and most well-known extensions so you are going to really see dislikes of the majority of videos.

One of the downsides is that if you use a browser different from the current ones, the supported ones, you may not be able to see the dislikes.

Can you view dislikes on Youtube mobile?

Obviously, if you are asking how to view dislikes on Youtube mobile, well, I have pretty bad news (but read until the end, there is a solution), there are not real official ways to do it. There are some tricks, but they are pretty weird and not ideal.

While there are ways with jailbroken and some apps that you can install third-party apps, I wouldn’t use them because you may put your official Youtube channel at risk.

One way to do it is to install browsers that allow the use of browser extensions on mobile phones. For example, there is the Kiwi browser. And you also may find other types of browsers.

FAQ

Can you enable the old YouTube dislikes officially?

No, we are sorry, but that is not something that can be done. From 2021, it was removed, and you cannot restore these legs back. There is no way to do it.

Is using this browser extension secure?

So it is not secure as using official YouTube because this extension was created by a third party. That means that you never know if the videos that you navigate to, the things that you do on YouTube, and the data that you see when you navigate on YouTube get sent somewhere else, or if anything happens on the website you navigate to. It is not 100% secure. So you have to use it at your own risk.

Are you affiliated or promoting this extension?

No, we are not affiliated or promoting or have anything to do with this extension.
