JAKARTA Compared to TikTok and Reels, Shorts' development is not very prominent. Therefore, YouTube often makes changes to Shorts and this time the changes affect the algorithm.
In future changes, users can view the latest content uploaded on Shorts without the need to search manually or make certain settings. YouTube will display the content automatically in the upcoming update.
Based on Android Authority findings, YouTube users will see a 'New' label on the top left side of Shorts content. This label will be seen as a preview for users to be interested in opening and viewing the content.
When the content is tapped, the label will disappear from the screen. This new feature will appear in the YouTube app with version 20.15.36 for Android users and version 20.15.1 for iOS users. This 'New' label is not launched for Premium users.

This means that free and paid users can see the label. For now, it is not known whether the label will also be displayed on the YouTube website. The reason is, the web display is very different from YouTube on mobile devices.
With this feature, users will not be stuck with old content. Users can also distinguish old and new videos without the need to tap on the content. Indirectly, the presence of this label can improve the content recommendation algorithm.
It was not officially explained how long the label was 'new'. So far, the content tends to be found in videos uploaded a few hours ago, but can also be found in videos uploaded two days ago.
