YouTube is considering a new feature that would enable users to set a daily timer to limit their time on Shorts, as revealed by findings from its beta app. While not currently being tested publicly, a spokesperson confirmed the platform is exploring the option for future implementation. The proposed timer would allow users to allocate specific hours for viewing, pausing Shorts once the time is up. This initiative follows a trend among users seeking to manage screen time and reduce social media addiction, aligning with similar features from Apple and Google.
