YouTube has launched its Shorts recently in the United States. Shorts is a platform of short videos shot in portrait format. This is going to be the answer of YouTube to its worldwide counterpart TikTok. The US has already received an update while the rest of the world would have to wait anytime soon.
Shorts is currently in Beta and is not available to some American users. It appears that YouTube is doing some A/B testing but we can already expect that a stable version will be launched anytime soon due to the fact that Shorts have already been working for 12 months.
It has been previously reported that YouTube Shorts has 3.5 billion views even though it was in early beta. Anytime soon, TikTok will reach about 1 billion monthly active users and would be the first in its platform to reach an incredible milestone in a short time.
