YouTube brings a new feature to stop you from endlessly scrolling Shorts: here’s how it works

We’ve all been there: you open a small, insignificant Short on YouTube and suddenly you have lost an hour scrolling through videos on topics you probably don’t even want to see. To curb this behavior, YouTube has introduced a new timer feature that allows users to manage the time they spend viewing Shorts.

​As the name suggests, the Timer feature allows users to set a daily time limit for how long they can scroll Shorts on the mobile version of the YouTube app.
