How to Change YouTube View Count From Lakhs to Millions and Vice Versa

When a video goes viral on YouTube, it’s mainly talked about by the millions. For example, a GT video has 7 million views or 1 million likes. Most of us are used to the familiar YouTube notion of “million”. Imagine if that changes randomly and you notice the YouTube account in a different digital system such as lakhs and crores? The same thing has happened with many YouTube users. For them, YouTube displays views in the hundreds of thousands of pounds. We’ll show you how to change the number of YouTube views based on millions on YouTube apps (Android, iOS, and iPad) and on the web.

There is also another side to the story. What if a user is unfamiliar with millions? They would prefer to see their regional digital system for YouTube views. This article will also tell you how to increase the number of YouTube views from millions to a system in your area.

Let’s start by changing the number of views on YouTube.

Point: For the ignorant, 1 Lakh = 100k, 10 Lakhs = 1 million and 1 Crore = 10 million.

How to change the number of YouTube views on Android

On Android phones and tablets (Samsung, OnePlus, Mi, Asus, Huawei, etc.) you will have to change your phone’s language to get back to millions. Let’s understand with an example. Recently, YouTube introduced support for regional digital system (lakhs and crores) in India. So YouTube users in India who had kept their system language in English (India) woke up with views displayed in lakhs.

To increase to millions, they will have to change their system language to English (UK) or English (US).

Here are the steps:

Step 1: Open Settings on your phone and navigate to System or General management or Additional settings depending on the option available on your phone.

Point: Learn how to change the color of captions on YouTube.

2nd step: Touch Language & input, then touch Languages.

Step 3: Here you will see the languages ​​activated for your device. The first will be taken by default and used for all applications. If an application does not support the first language, the second language will be used, and so on.

Now if you want to change the views to millions, you have to make English (UK) or English (US) as the default language (should be at the top of the list). Likewise, if you want views in a regional system, change the default language to the supported language. Read what’s going on by changing the device language at the end of the article.

Note: YouTube does not support all kinds of digital systems.

Now click on Add Language if you don’t see English (UK) or English (US). Tap the language to add it to the list. Once added (or if it’s already available), move English (UK) or English (US) up by dragging it using the two horizontal lines icon next to the language. If you don’t see the three bar icon, tap Edit. Then change its position. Go back or press the Apply / Done button to save the changes.

Step 4: Restart your phone. Open YouTube. The new view counting system will be displayed.

What happens when changing the language of the phone

Changing the language of your phone or the language of YouTube (on the web) will not affect your trending list or recommendations on YouTube. These are affected if you change your country in the YouTube settings.

If you switch between different variations of English, you won’t notice any drastic changes except in the case of spelling. For example, you will notice “center” in American English and “center” in British English.

But if you switch to a completely different language, the language of your system will be affected. So you will see menus, app name, settings, etc., in a completely different language. The language used by third-party apps depends on the app itself. For example, changing the system language will affect the WhatsApp menu and the settings language.

However, the system language is independent of your keyboard language. Changing the system language will not affect the language you enter on the keypad of your phone. This can be changed from the keyboard settings.

Views matter

Although YouTube views are the same in all digital systems, their format matters a lot, especially when you are used to a certain type of counting system such as millions. We hope that the above methods for different devices such as Android phones, iPad, iPhone, Windows computer, Mac, etc. should have helped you to restore your preferred metric system.
