Hi Everyone,
We’re giving users another way to manage how they spend their time on YouTube and further customize their viewing experience. Starting today, we are beginning to roll out the ability for users to set a daily limit for how long they can scroll on the Shorts feed on mobile.
How it works
Users can set and adjust a daily limit for how long they can scroll on the Shorts feed by going to Settings. Once the set time limit has been reached, they will receive a dismissible prompt that scrolling on the Shorts feed is paused for the day.
We’re also planning to expand our parental controls to incorporate the Shorts feed limit later this year, which will give parents the ability to proactively turn this on and make it non-dismissable for their kids and teens in supervised accounts on YouTube.
The Shorts feed limit comes in addition to existing time management features, including Bedtime and Take a Break reminders.
Shorts are a core part of the YouTube experience. 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.
