YouTube Shorts have been a part of the platform for a while now, but the introduction of the Google Lens button has not been without its issues. The button, which allows users to search for objects within the video, has been placed in the center of the screen when Shorts are paused. This placement can be problematic, as it often obstructs the video content and can lead to accidental taps when users try to resume playback. To avoid this frustration, here are some tips for optimizing your YouTube Shorts experience without the Google Lens button. First, consider pausing Shorts when you need to use the Google Lens feature. This allows you to avoid the intrusive button and ensures you don't miss any video content. Secondly, if you frequently use the Google Lens button, consider using the alternative search feature available in the Shorts top menu. This feature allows you to search for objects within the video without the button obstructing the screen. Lastly, if you find that the Google Lens button is still causing issues, you can try using the YouTube Shorts app on a different device. This can help prevent accidental taps and ensure a smoother experience. By following these tips, you can enjoy a more enjoyable and less frustrating YouTube Shorts experience without the Google Lens button.
