YouTube Introduces Option to Completely Hide Shorts from Feed
YouTube has officially rolled out a new feature allowing users to set their Shorts feed limit to zero minutes, effectively removing short-form videos from their mobile feed. This update expands upon a time management tool introduced last October, which previously capped the minimum limit at 15 minutes before prompting a break. Initially integrated with parental controls earlier this year, the zero-minute option is now available to all adult users globally. By navigating to the Time Management section within the app's settings, users can select this limit to combat doomscrolling. While the main feed will no longer display Shorts, individual videos may still appear elsewhere, and a refresh might be required for changes to take effect. Users retaining an interest in Shorts can still choose from various time limits up to two hours. This move reflects growing industry attention to digital well-being and user control over content consumption habits on major social platforms.
