YouTube just dropped a tiny update… but it’s one we’ve been waiting for.
Now when someone uploads a new Short, you’ll see a little “new” label on it. Simple, right? But if you’re someone who scrolls through Shorts often, this is a game-changer.
– It’s already rolling out on both Android and iOS.
– Web users? Not yet. You’ll have to wait a bit longer.
Up until now, Shorts felt like a chaotic scroll of old and new content mixed together. You never really knew what was fresh — unless you happened to catch the upload time.
Now, this “new” tag adds a bit of clarity. Most Shorts with the label are just a few hours old, sometimes up to two days.
It’s not a full-on chronological feed — but it’s a step in the right direction.
Why This Is a Smart Move?
Let’s be honest: no one wants to keep seeing the same viral clips on repeat.
We’re all looking for what’s new, what’s now.
YouTube gets that. That’s why they’ve been rolling out features all year — from better editing tools to experiments that reduce mindless scrolling.
This update is all about giving users more control over what they see. And that’s a win.
What Would Make It Even Better?
Imagine this:
- A filter that shows only your favorite creators
- A toggle to sort Shorts by date, likes, or views
- A “new today” tab that resets every 24 hours
👀 YouTube, are you listening?
For now, though, this small “new” tag adds a nice layer of freshness. It might seem minor, but it makes a difference.
