YouTube has launched a new feature that allows users to completely eliminate 'Shorts' videos from their mobile app, addressing growing concerns over short-form content consumption. Users can now set their 'Shorts Feed Limit' to 0 minutes under the 'Time Management' settings, effectively removing these videos from their feeds. This update follows an earlier change that enabled users to filter Shorts from search results. Many users have expressed gratitude for this option, believing it will enhance their attention spans. However, some users reported that they still have access to the older limit of 15 minutes per day for Shorts. The feature is currently being rolled out to all users, with a prompt appearing when the limit is reached, though users can override it if desired. This move reflects YouTube's acknowledgment of user feedback and the growing trend of managing screen time.
