YouTube Shorts Removes Dislikes, Adds New Features

YouTube Shorts just got a little more user-friendly, ditching the dislike button and adding some neat features like double playback speed and a new clear mode. Why is this a big deal? Well, with billions of daily views, these tweaks are set to make your scrolling even smoother.

Gone are the days of the dislike button on Shorts. Instead, YouTube is encouraging users to use ‘Not Interested’ and ‘Don’t recommend this channel’ to tailor their feed. This should help avoid those pesky videos that just aren’t your vibe. If you’re more of a ‘heart’ person, the like button is now a heart to give you that extra warm fuzzy feeling when you stumble upon content you love.

Another cool addition is the clear mode, which helps declutter your screen, similar to what TikTok offers. If you’re watching in a noisy place, the new mute function is just a tap away. And for those who like to speed things up, you can now double the playback speed, a feature many have been waiting for. If you’re into YouTube Shorts, these updates might just elevate your experience.

These updates are rolling out now, but if you don’t see them yet, hang tight—they’re coming your way soon. While you wait, why not check out some latest app deals for your Android device?
