The new option is rolling out to YouTube mobile users on both iOS and Android.<\/p>\n<p>The feature builds on YouTube mobile\u2019s existing time management feature, which allows users to set limits on their Shorts consumption. With the latest update, a new 0-minutes option has been added to the Shorts Feed limit timer.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"773\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/26\/04\/youtube-shorts-turn-off-limit\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"You can now turn off YouTube Shorts on mobile\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Previously, the minimum limit was capped at 15 minutes.
