Parents now have the power to completely disable YouTube shorts.

Google has rolled out major enhancements to its parental control tools, giving families far greater control over YouTube Shorts.

Using the Google Family Link app and newly introduced supervised account options, parents can now set strict daily time limits for children and teens under 18. By simply setting the Shorts time allowance to zero minutes, the entire Shorts feed can be blocked, directly tackling concerns about the addictive, endlessly scrolling nature of the format.

The updated features also include locked bedtime schedules and mandatory break reminders that children cannot override, helping maintain consistent and healthy screen-time routines.

For parents looking for maximum protection, the dedicated YouTube Kids app continues to offer a completely Shorts-free, age-appropriate environment with curated content. On computers, families can further restrict access using browser extensions, Restricted Mode, or specific URL blocks.

These changes mark a significant step forward in digital wellbeing, empowering parents to customize YouTube according to their child’s age and needs—whether that means a short daily viewing window or a full ban on Shorts.

Today's NEW Dietary Guidelines deliver a clear, common-sense message to the American people: EAT REAL FOOD.

The 2025–2030 Guidelines reestablish food — not pharmaceuticals — as the foundation of health and reclaim the food pyramid as a tool for nourishment and education.
