YouTube Shorts is emerging as a big alternative to short video apps like TikTok, Reels, and more. YouTube replaced the Trending section button with the Shorts button on their Android app. YouTube recently introduced a new feature that helps you to create and upload short videos just like TikTok and Instagram Reels. It is now out of beta so, you won’t see the Shorts BETA icon.
A lot of people loved this new YouTube Shorts feature. However, there are many who don’t and complained to YouTube for not giving them the option to remove Shorts from YouTube. So, if you go to the app settings, you won’t get an option to remove shorts from YouTube.
But, you don’t need to worry about it. In this tutorial, I will be explaining and showing you How you can remove Shorts from YouTube. It is a very simple and effective method to remove the YouTube shorts button as well as the Shorts carousel from your feed.
