YouTube New Feature: YouTube has released a very important update for the users, through which they can now put brakes on the habit of watching Shorts. Due to the increasing popularity of Shorts, people spend hours on mobile screens, but now the company has given users the option to reduce it or stop it completely.
New change came after the court’s decision
This update comes at a time when a US court recently fined YouTube. The allegation was that the platform is increasing addiction among children and they are being shown harmful content. After this pressure, YouTube has introduced this new feature, so that users can control their screen time habits in a better way.
Time limit feature was available earlier also
The feature of imposing time limit on YouTube Shorts was first launched in October last year. Through this, users could set a daily limit as per their need, so that they do not watch Shorts for a long time and can control their habit.
Now a big change in the time limit
Earlier the minimum limit of YouTube Shorts time limit was 15 minutes, but now the company has made a big change in it and reduced this limit to ‘zero’. This means that now users can turn off Shorts completely if they wish.
What will be the effect of zero limit?
If you set the YouTube Shorts time limit to zero, you won’t see any videos in the Shorts tab of YouTube. With this you can easily remove Shorts from your feed and avoid wastage of time.
Other platforms are also offering such features
Platforms like Instagram and TikTok also feature time limits, so users can control their screen time habits. However, TikTok is the only platform where this feature can be used on the web version also.
