This guide discusses how you could manage your YouTube subscriptions via the Pocket Tube app. All our readers might be having their subscriptions tab filled with various YouTube channels across diverse topics. These might include videos related to humor, songs, news, technology, and countless other domains. Watching various videos of only a particular subscribed channel is pretty easy. All you have to do is visit that channel from the Subscriptions tab (which has recently received the auto-play feature) and enjoy the videos from that YouTuber.
But what if you wish to watch videos from 10 different tech channels? The only way you could do so is to create a playlist and manually add the required number of videos from different tech channels that you have subscribed to. Well, to be frank, hardly anyone is going to opt for this huge effort-taking task. This is where the Pocket Tube app comes in handy. It very efficiently manages your YouTube subscriptions. Let’s see its functionality to know more about the said topic.
Effectively Manage YouTube Subscriptions
The Pocket Tube app allows you to create a group and then add the desired channels from a particular topic into that group. For example, you could create a group named Android and then add the Google, Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi channels. Now, whenever you tap on that group, you will be taken to the official YouTube app with the videos from only those four channels.
