YouTube recently added an optional feature to its mobile application that will remind users to “take a break” after they’ve watched videos for a set amount of time. Our guide will show you how to set up this feature on your own account.

Note: These screenshots were captured in the YouTube app on iOS. Also note, when you turn on this reminder feature, the app won’t actually force you to take a break from watching videos—it will simply prompt you to do so.
