YouTube: Addicted to Shorts? YouTube rolls out a unique feature that will help you reduce your addiction...

YouTube has launched a new timer feature for its Shorts videos. As the name suggests, it will help users set a daily viewing limit for Shorts. Nowadays, most people use YouTube, and hours pass by without even realizing it. To address this issue, YouTube has introduced this feature, which is available on the mobile app. When the user reaches the set time limit, they will see a message stating that the Shorts viewing time for the day has been reached. However, they can remove it and continue watching.

The timer feature is not for parental control.
For your information, YouTube's new timer feature is not currently available for parental control. This means that parents cannot set a time limit for their children to watch Shorts. YouTube says it plans to add this feature to parental control by the end of this year. After this, parents will be able to control how long their children can watch Shorts per day.

YouTube already offers a Take a Break feature.
For your information, YouTube has previously introduced features that remind users to take breaks while watching videos. For example, the Take a Break feature reminds users to take a break every 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Users can ignore this reminder and continue watching videos, or close the app and take a break.

Similarly, the Bedtime Reminder feature allows users to set a bedtime. After this time, YouTube will remind them to stop watching videos and go to sleep.

The new feature will help manage screen time.
The new timer feature for YouTube Shorts will help users better manage their screen time. This feature is especially beneficial for those who often watch Shorts for hours without realizing it. This feature will promote digital wellness and prove to be very useful for people who will be able to easily reduce their screen time.
