TLDR

YouTube has introduced a new feature that allows parents to set time limits on their children's YouTube Shorts feed, ranging from fifteen minutes to two hours. This update adapts the Shorts time limit feature introduced in October for under-18 accounts. Additionally, parents can set custom reminders for bedtime and breaks, and adjust the content their kids' accounts can access. This move follows YouTube's efforts to identify and restrict minors' accounts using AI age estimation, and aligns with similar parental control measures on other social media platforms.
