On the YouTube app, in the family centre, parents can select 'time management' on their child's account. They can set the daily Shorts feed limit, including to zero minutes per day. When a child reaches their daily limit, a message will appear letting them know and will prevent them from scrolling the Shorts feed for the remainder of the day. "Today, parents in Ireland and across Europe can set the amount of time their teens spend on Shorts, including to zero minutes per day - an industry-first parental control," said Dr Garth Graham, Global Head of YouTube Health. "We believe parents should be in the driver's seat and the new Shorts feed limit helps them to tailor their family’s viewing experience," Dr Graham said. Last month, a California jury found that YouTube's parent company Google, and Meta, were liable for designing platforms that are addictive. Both companies said they

YouTube is changing how you share moments from videos. In the process, it’s quietly killing off one of its lesser-used features. As shared by 9to5Google, the platform has confirmed it is removing the ability to create new Clips. At the same time, it is rolling out a more straightforward “share at timestamp” option on mobile. Clips have been around for a while, letting users cut short segments from longer videos to share elsewhere. They’ve been particularly useful for creators trying to promote highlights or key moments. But despite that, YouTube is now shifting direction. Existing Clips will still work, but you won’t be able to make new ones going forward. Instead, YouTube is leaning into simpler sharing. The new timestamp sharing feature, already familiar to desktop users, is now being properly rolled out across phones and tablets. It lets you send a video link that starts at a specific moment, without needing to create a separate clip. The option sits in the top-right corner of the share menu. This makes it much quicker to grab and send. At the same time, YouTube says it isn’t abandoning clipping entirely. It is just moving it closer to creators. The company also plans to introduce more creator-focused

Joe Maring / Android Authority A few months ago, Google and YouTube realized that I no longer lived in Lebanon and told me I couldn’t skate on paying just $9 per month for a Lebanese family Premium account. I had to face the music and switch to a two-person French Premium subscription for €19.99 per month instead — more than double what I was initially paying. Of course, this made me wonder whether it was worth it, but also whether I wanted to keep paying for Spotify Duo, too, which had been my music streaming service of choice for over 18 years. But considering the included YouTube Music access in my now very expensive Premium subscription, I had to ask myself the question. And the answer, as I soon realized, was very easy: I just don’t want to use YouTube Music, even for “free.” Do you listen to music on YouTube Music? 1429 votes YouTube Music isn’t “everywhere” the same way Spotify is Joe Maring / Android Authority If there’s one hang-up I have around completely switching my music listening to YouTube Music, it’s that the service is not as widespread as Spotify. For now, it’s more or less accessible
