YouTube Shorts continues to rival Instagram Reels and TikTok.Announcing a new feature today, the company is apparently adding the “Add to add” feature to Shorts, which we’ve been seeing on Instagram for a few years now. Here’s YouTube’s new feature…
YouTube Shorts is trying to increase interactions with the “Add You” feature!
As you know, Instagram added the “Add you too” feature to its app in 2021. This feature, which allows users to share videos or photos under a specific topic, was very popular due to Instagram’s structure. Now YouTube is preparing to add this feature to its app.
The company, which plans to implement the feature specified for YouTube Shorts, will now allow you to add videos under the specified topic. However, it is debatable how logical it will be to have this feature within YouTube. Likewise, since Instagram is a social media platform, users share photos and videos in their stories. However, it seems to be a bit difficult to get the same interaction on a video sharing platform.
In addition to the “add your own” feature, the company also announced the subtitle feature for YouTube Shorts and stated that automatically generated subtitles can now be easily added to videos and can also be edited. In other words, you will be able to adjust the font or color of the subtitles as you wish.
For now, these features will only be available on Android, but the company will soon make the announcement for iOS. These two features, which will be available in a few weeks, will bring YouTube Shorts closer to Instagram Reels. How do you like the new features of Shorts? Let us know what you think in the comments.
