Watch too much YouTube? Google could be working on a new tool to help
YouTube could expand time-limit tools beyond just watching Shorts.
Google may be developing a new tool to help users limit their time spent watching videos on YouTube, according to recent reports. While the tech giant already offers various tools to manage app usage, such as Digital Wellbeing, YouTube also has its own features, including a time limit specifically for viewing Shorts. Now, it seems that YouTube might be planning an additional tool for setting a viewing limit across all types of videos.
To access these options, open the YouTube app, tap on the user icon, proceed to Settings (represented by a gear), and then look for Time management. The presence or absence of this feature may cause users to feel uneasy if they find their streaming habits out of control. As the story suggests, this could be early work on a new YouTube tool aimed at setting time limits for users.
