If they were actually serious, they would add an option in the Family Link app to set time limit for shorts for children.


They did add it, it explicitly says "Scrolling is paused after time's up but they may still see individual Shorts"

I added 15 min timer for my kids today, not as good as blocking them entirely from even being seen .. but at least it's something.


There is no such setting I can see in Family Link. Not per-device setup, Family Link.


I stand corrected - there is a Time Management setting under Controls -> YouTube.
