While YouTube is a great platform to show off our creative talents and watch videos, we often end up wasting unnecessary time on it. With its relevant video suggestions & autoplay feature, the site manages to keep users engaged.
If you are an active YouTube user, you might know that sometimes we end up watching a whole series of videos unintentionally when we intended to view only one. If this often happens to you, you need to set Viewing Reminders in the YouTube app.
YouTube provides you with many features that could help you properly utilize the platform. As far as the Viewing reminders go, you get two options – Take a Break and Bedtime Feature. Both of the features were available on the YouTube app for Android and iOS.
