Latest UK-focused news and updates.
YouTube has introduced a new feature that allows users to set a zero-minute time limit on Shorts, effectively disabling the short video format on their apps for both Android and iOS devices. This update is part of YouTube's ongoing efforts to enhance user control over their viewing experience.
Previously, users could only set a minimum time limit of 15 minutes for Shorts. The new zero-minute option provides a more definitive way for viewers to manage their content consumption, particularly for those who prefer longer videos or wish to avoid the quick, bite-sized format altogether.
This feature was first mentioned in an announcement made in October and has since been expanded upon. The move is likely to be welcomed by users who find the Shorts format distracting or not aligned with their viewing preferences.
As YouTube continues to evolve its platform, this update reflects a growing trend among social media and video-sharing services to offer users more customization options regarding the content they engage with.
