Good news for those tired of endless scrolling! YouTube has rolled out a new feature that lets you turn off Shorts completely. This update matters because it gives users more control over their viewing experience, reducing distractions.
Previously, YouTube introduced a timer feature to help manage your time on Shorts, ranging from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Now, they’ve added a zero-minute option, effectively allowing you to disable Shorts on your homepage. Once you hit the limit, scrolling is paused with a full-screen notice. However, if you’re still interested, you can find Shorts in the Subscriptions feed or view them individually.
This update is a refreshing change, especially if you’re looking to streamline your social media usage. With the timer set to zero, Shorts won’t clutter your homepage, giving you a cleaner, more focused YouTube experience.
Keep an eye out for more updates and features that help tailor your online experience. Meanwhile, if you have any issues with the new settings, check out our tips on YouTube’s revamped sharing options.
