YouTube Shorts is a feature that allows users to upload short videos. These videos are different from stories, as they are shown in the regular channel feed.
Earlier, YouTube shorts were only accessible through the home feed, but later, Google introduced a dedicated tab for Shorts on the YouTube app. YouTube Shorts has been around for a while now, but many users are having problems with it.
Many users have claimed they cannot see the dedicated ‘Shorts’ button on their YouTube Android app. So, if you are also experiencing the same problem, check out what you can do.
1. Update the YouTube App
Well, the dedicated button for Shorts is only available in the latest version of the YouTube app. So, before trying any other fix, head to the Google Play Store and update the YouTube App.
The latest version of the YouTube app has a dedicated section for Shorts at the bottom of the home screen. You will also find an option to upload Shorts inside the (+) button located at the bottom of the YouTube app.
