• YouTube could soon let users set a daily timer for watching Shorts.
• We’ve found code in the latest YouTube app beta suggesting users will be able to set a timer for minutes or hours depending on their consumption preference.
• YouTube won’t block Shorts watching entirely. Individual Shorts that appear elsewhere on the platform will still be viewable.

Short-form videos and doomscrolling go hand-in-hand. If you regularly spend time on social media or video platforms, chances are you’ve fallen into the trap, mindlessly scrolling through endless short videos until your brain checks out. For some, this habit can also become a serious issue. Studies show that overuse of short video apps is linked to problems like distraction, poor time management, and reduced learning capacity.
