"YouTube has added a new Shorts feature that makes it easier to manage how much time you're spending watching videos. Mobile users can now set a customizable daily limit that restricts how long they can scroll Shorts feeds, aiming to help viewers better manage their time instead of endlessly scrolling. When a user reaches their time limit, they will receive a notification saying Shorts has been paused for the day. This notification is dismissible, however, so it's on the user to honor these self-imposed restrictions."
""Shorts are a core part of the YouTube experience," YouTube said in its announcement. "Setting a scrolling time limit on the Shorts feed allows for this exploration while helping users be more deliberate about their viewing habits and manage their time effectively." The option to set and adjust custom time limits for Shorts can be found within the YouTube account settings."
YouTube introduced a mobile feature allowing users to set a customizable daily time limit for scrolling the Shorts feed. When the limit is reached, Shorts will be paused for the day and a dismissible notification will inform the user. Instagram and TikTok already offer optional screen time limits, with TikTok extending limits to web users. The time-limit option is available in YouTube account settings and is beginning to roll out to mobile users. YouTube plans to add the feature to parental controls later in the year, with non-dismissable limit notifications for kids.
