YouTube finally lets users turn off Shorts with a zero-minute feed limit
San Francisco, April 16, 2026, 08:38 AM PDT YouTube users now have the option to set their Shorts feed limit to zero minutes in the app — essentially shutting down the short-form video feature altogether. Google’s help page confirms that zero is officially among the choices under “Shorts feed limit,” which means users can hide the Shorts tab on mobile if they want to.
