Question Comments to You Tube videos

[dj54321]

I posted a comment to a You Tube video 3 hours ago. There are dozens of comments, but mine doesn't show.

An hour ago I received a notification atop my Android 10 tablet saying 3 people liked (replied to?) my comment.

But my comment still isn't there. And the notification is gone.

1) why can't I see my comment?

2) how can I recover the notification?

Thank you.

Not sure why you can't see the comment, but in order to see your notification history, you would've had to turn that on beforehand: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-view-your-android-notification-history. If it wasn't on before, and then you turn it on now, it will only start recording the history from then on.

Ok, thank you.

Also there is a dedicated page that lists your comments, which I discovered recently.

Go to You Tube Help via the Avatar (maybe the full web version on a pc which I used is better, IDK.

Enter My Comments History in the search bar, and click on any result that shows Comment History in Bold font.

You may have mistakenly replied to another comment and were subsequently liked and commented on?

ADDED : As far as I can see, you can bring up the Comment History link on the You Tube android app, but it doesn't list your actual comments, rather a history of watched videos and I don't think they are only videos you have commented on.

EDIT #2

This link via YT on Chrome mobile may work if it doesn't default to opening on the You Tube app, otherwise use a pc browser:

Thanks Madd62... yes you're correct: "You may have mistakenly replied to another comment and were subsequently liked and commented on?"

Thus my comment was buried in someone else's comment thread, as embarrassing as it is to admit it.

Everyone has done that. Glad you found it
