Filters For Harmful Comments

The platform is addressing feedback provided by creators on how harmful and hurtful comments that surface may affect their wellbeing on the platform. Going forward comments that YouTube may consider more hurtful than others would be shown in a new section called 'Held for review'.

Creators can review them by clicking on 'See hidden comments' at the bottom of this tab, or leave them unreviewed and ignore them.

Shorts Snapshot

YouTube Studio mobile app will now display typical performance for Shorts on metrics such as average percentage watched, likes, and comparison with previous Shorts.
