How to set watch reminders on the YouTube app

Although YouTube is a great platform to show off our creative talents and watch videos, we often end up wasting unnecessary time on it. With relevant video suggestions and the autoplay feature, the site is able to keep users engaged.

If you are an active YouTube user, you may know that sometimes we end up inadvertently watching a whole series of videos when we intend to watch only one video. If this happens to you often, you need to set "Show reminders" in the YouTube app.

YouTube provides you with many features that can help you use the platform properly. As far as show reminders go, you get two options – take a break and a bedtime benefit. Both features were available on the YouTube app for Android and iOS.
