YouTube's "take a break" reminder now offers 'hour and minutes' option in 5-minute intervals
YouTube's take a break reminder setting now has more flexible options
But life does not always adhere to such perfectly rounded-off time periods. So Google has decided to update the feature, allowing users to set the reminder frequency in hours and minutes. Users will be able to set reminders from 5 minutes to 23 hours and 55 minutes using 5 minute intervals. Now that seems more realistic that the three hour limit that was the maximum setting pre-update.
It isn't clear if the update to freshen up the "take a break" reminder is coming via OTA update, or a server side update. Our version of YouTube, 13.20.54, does include the updated reminder setting as you can see in the accompanying image on the right.
