YouTube now lets you hide Shorts
Engadget • • general
Key Points:
- YouTube has introduced a new feature allowing users to set their Shorts feed limit to zero minutes, effectively removing short-form videos from their mobile feed.
- Previously, the minimum Shorts feed limit was 15 minutes, after which users received a reminder to take a break.
- The zero-minute option was initially integrated with parental controls but is now available for all users, including adults.
- To activate this feature, users need to go to the YouTube app's Settings, navigate to "Time management," then "Daily limits," and adjust the "Shorts feed limit" accordingly.
- Users can also choose other time limits for Shorts viewing, with a maximum of two hours available.
