Overview
- YouTube said Wednesday the zero‑minute Shorts feed limit is live for parents and rolling out to all users on iOS and Android.
- Setting the timer to zero hides the Shorts tab and often scrubs Shorts from the Home feed, showing a notice that you have reached your Shorts feed limit.
- Shorts are still reachable in some places, including the Subscriptions feed, search results, and shared links, so this is not a full shutoff.
- You can turn it on in the mobile app under Settings, then Time management, then Shorts feed limit, though some accounts may need to refresh the app as the rollout is staggered.
- The feature builds on a Shorts timer introduced in October and expanded to parental controls in January, responding to requests for a way to cut off endless short‑form scrolling.
