Overview
- Google, which confirmed to The Verge on Thursday, is rolling out a 0-minute daily limit for Shorts in the Android and iOS apps.
- Setting the limit to zero removes the Shorts shelf from the home page after you restart the app.
- Results vary across users and feeds, with some still seeing or scrolling Shorts in subscriptions and others reporting the clips disappear.
- Parents can apply daily limits, including a full shutoff, for child accounts in the app’s Family Center time settings.
- The control is available only in the mobile apps for now, with no equivalent option on YouTube’s website or TV app.
