You people have experienced multiple times that opening YouTube is a sort of trap, a person opens it for some informational purpose and after a few minutes he/she ends up watching the trailer of Deadpool 2. This new feature will remind you after a few minutes that you should take a break from it and should get engaged in daily tasks. It will not gonna terminate the YouTube app, it simply pauses the video and shows a reminder.

This new feature is known as the “Remind me to take a break”. You can set its duration as per your liking or schedule. Time duration you can set includes 15, 30, 60, 90 or even 180 minutes. This feature doesn’t require Android P installed as it is designed as a standalone one. You can enable it by jumping to the Settings menu-General-Remind me to take a break.

Once your time will reach a cartoonish Monkey-face will appear asking you to take a break. In case you still want to continue you can do it simply by a single tap.
