After a first limited version, YouTube generalizes the possibility of setting the timer of the flux des Shorts on zero minutes. Initially announced in October with a minimum limit of 15 minutes, this option becomes accessible to all accounts, not just those managed via parental controls.
Found in time management settings
To activate this block, the user must go to the settings of the YouTube application on Android or iOS, then to the section dedicated to time management.
In terms of daily limits, it is proposed to apply a Shorts flow limit. ” Set how long you can watch Shorts each day. “
Novelty is therefore an option” 0 minute “. Once this limit is reached, and in this case immediately, the feed of the Shorts tab stops loading and displays a notification. Shorts also disappear from the application home page.
Haro on doomscrolling
If applicable, Shorts can still appear in the subscription feed or be viewed individually, but the endless scrolling mechanism is effectively stopped in its tracks.
The update currently being deployed extends a functionality first designed for parental controls. Earlier this year, YouTube integrated Shorts time management into Google Family Link, and with the promise of a zero-minute option.
The surprise is a deployment for all profileswhether they are minors or adults. Other Shorts feed limit options range from 15 minutes to 2 hours.
