Anyone knows difference of uploading Shorts video from different types of devices? - han26157 - Aug 22, 2025
I might have observed that Shorts videos uploaded via the YouTube app on a mobile phone tend to accumulate views at a significantly faster rate compared to those uploaded through PC mode on either mobile devices or computers. This respond might even sound makeshift.
But, what's your saying on this question nonetheless?

The mobile app auto-optimizes the metadata for shorts-discovery. It categorizes video's below 60 seconds and with 9:16 aspect ratio automatically as a short, which gives it an algorithmic boost. It does that because most short consumers watch it on their phone. It's just how the algorithm works through the youtube mobile app.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. When you upload Shorts from the YouTube app, they seem to get picked up faster since that’s how most people post them. On PC, it doesn’t always push them into the Shorts feed as quickly. Plus, people’s attention spans are short, so the algorithm favors quick, mobile-first uploads that grab attention right away.
