Let us discuss the latest updates introduced by YouTube for Shorts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h6><strong>Full screen<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3401 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/28194557\/Screenshot_20211228-130520_YouTube-149x300.jpg\" alt=\"Shorts\" width=\"196\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/28194557\/Screenshot_20211228-130520_YouTube-149x300.jpg 149w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/28194557\/Screenshot_20211228-130520_YouTube-768x1548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/28194557\/Screenshot_20211228-130520_YouTube-508x1024.jpg 508w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/28194557\/Screenshot_20211228-130520_YouTube-714x1440.jpg 714w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/28194557\/Screenshot_20211228-130520_YouTube.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspired by TikTok and Instagram Reels, users can now go to the Shorts feed and watch them in full screen. This is different from the traditional display of YouTube videos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, YouTube also confirmed that they are expanding a global test that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">defaults the YouTube mobile app to open directly in Shorts if the user had previously watched Shorts videos before exiting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This has been tested among iOs users as of now and they are also planning on experimenting this on Android as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h6><strong>Reusing details of previous uploads and mobile analytics<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another extremely useful update introduced by YouTube is reusing details of previous uploads for the new ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> On YouTube Studio, while uploading the videos, in the detail section there will be an option for reusing various details like video title, video description, language settings, shorts sampling permissions and category selections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can save creators a lot of time, especially creators who post content often and have to fill in these details again and again. Moreover, you should always double check the details before posting the video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to this, YouTube also developed more analytics on the YouTube Studio mobile app. These analytics were only available on the desktop earlier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creators can now check their performance in the last 28 days and weekly and monthly performance stats. These performance indicators will help them efficiently strategise the posting of their content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, the idea is to make these stats more easily accessible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Albeit these updates are not very groundbreaking, they will surely attract more creators and lay a foundation for even more advanced updates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Interested in getting your YouTube channel seen by your relevant audience?
