The function was introduced in 2018 and has now undergone some changes. The logic behind Take a Break on YouTube is the same as checking screen time on iPhone.
Users under 18 will now receive full-screen notifications every 60 minutes to stop watching a video or Stories. The video will be paused until the user closes the notification.
At the same time, parents of young users will be able to make the necessary changes in the settings. Additionally, the function is effective in preventing children and adolescents from suffering from suicide, eating disorders, etc. It will not allow it to receive content based on queries about it. Useful content will be presented instead of garbage.
It is stated that the updated function is available in versions above 13.17 of the YouTube mobile application.
