Google is pushing an update to YouTube today that gives people the opportunity to schedule breaks. The reminder can be set to automatically pause video after you've watched for 15, 30, 60, 90, or 180 minutes. Video will remain paused until the reminder is dismissed. The feature is buried in the settings menu and must be turned on manually. The take a break reminder reaches YouTube just days after Google added similar tools to Android itself. Android P will include wellness features that remind people to put their phones down. The new YouTube app with take a break is available to Android devices.
