I recently noticed I had a number of comments on YouTube that I wasn’t even aware of. Some dated back 6 months ago and I apologise to my readers and subscribers for not responding. I have caught up so far and also decided to check why I didn’t receive any comment notifications either by email or via the YouTube mobile app.
Upon further inspection, it appears these notifications were turned off. I may have accidentally turned them off without even realising. After some digging around I managed to figure out how to turn them back on and wanted to write the instructions here in case I have to do them again:
USING BROWSER
Open any browser and type this URL (it was too hard to navigate to the notifications section – trust me it’s much faster just clicking on the link): https://www.youtube.com/account_notifications
If you still want to navigate to the notifications, go to your YouTube channel and click settings.
Then make sure the toggle button is on the right-hand side for Activity on my comments and Replies to my comments

I am an entrepreneur based in Sydney Australia. I was born in Vietnam, grew up in Italy and currently residing in Australia. I started my first business venture Advertise Me from a random idea and have never looked back since. My passion is in the digital space, affiliate marketing, fitness and I launched several digital products. You will find these on the portfolio page.
I’ve decided to change from a Vegetarian to a Vegan diet and started a website called Veggie Meals.
I started this blog so I could leave a digital footprint of my random thoughts, ideas and life in general.
If any of the articles helped you in any way, please donate. Thank you for your help.
