Screen Time
YouTube has introduced a feature in its iOS and Android apps allowing users to disable Shorts completely or set viewing time limits. The Shorts Timer lets parents and users cap sessions at 15, 30, or 45 minutes, or one to two hours, with an option to set it to zero minutes. The tool is rolling out first to supervised accounts before reaching all users.
