Google has decided to implement an interesting feature in YouTube that will help users track the time spent watching content in the Shorts format. This was reported by the Android Authority portal with reference to the analysis of the code of the latest beta version of the application for Android devices.
The function is a kind of timer that provides the ability to set a daily limit on viewing Shorts. When the user reaches the set limit, the ability to endlessly scroll through short videos will be temporarily disabled until the next day. Full access to Shorts will not disappear: they can still be enabled through the search bar or recommendations on the main page.
The exact release date of the fresh feature in the stable version is still unknown, but the fact that it is being tested in the beta version suggests that Google is seriously considering its implementation. Previously, the platform already had reminders about the need to take a break when watching regular videos for a long time, but now the company has decided to pay attention to the potential dependence on the Shorts format.
