A video app made just for children YouTube Kids was created to give children a more contained environment that makes it simpler and more fun for them to explore on their own, and easier for parents and caregivers to guide their journey as they discover new and exciting interests along the way.
A safer online experience for children We work hard to keep the videos on YouTube Kids family-friendly and use a mix of automated filters built by our engineering teams, human review and feedback from parents to protect our youngest users online. But no system is perfect and inappropriate videos can slip through, so we're constantly working to improve our safeguards and offer more features to help parents create the right experience for their families.
Customise your child's experience with Parental Controls Limit screen time: Set a time limit for how long your children can watch and help encourage their transition from watching to doing. Keep up with what they watch: Simply check the 'watch it again' page and you'll always know what they've watched and the newest interests that they're exploring. Blocking: Don't like a video? Block the video or whole channel and never see it again. Flagging: You can always alert us to inappropriate content by flagging a video for review. Flagged videos are reviewed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Create individual experiences as unique as your children Create up to eight child profiles, each with their own viewing preferences, video recommendations and settings. Choose from 'Approved Content Only' mode or select an age category that fits your child: 'Preschool', 'Younger' or 'Older'.
Select the 'Approved Content Only' mode if you want to hand-pick the videos, channels and/or collections that you've approved your child to watch. In this mode, children won't be able to search for videos.The 'Preschool' Mode curates videos that promote creativity, playfulness, learning and exploration. The 'Younger' Mode allows children aged 5–8 to explore their interests in a wide variety of topics including songs, cartoons and crafts. While our 'Older' Mode gives children aged 9 and up the chance to search and explore additional content such as popular music and gaming videos for children.
All kinds of videos for all kinds of children Our library is filled with family-friendly videos on all different topics, igniting your children's inner creativity and playfulness. It's everything from their favourite shows and music to learning how to build a model volcano (or make slime ;-), and everything in between.

Love this app, but the new changes make it difficult to look for certain videos. I like how they had it set up before, where you were able to view all the channels on one page. You can't go to one specific channel like before, I can add new channels and not be able to find any of the videos. You're stuck watching the same recommended videos. Please put the channels on display again.

It works good but it's missing some basic features. First of, it doesn't show what videos have been watched like normal YouTube does. It's great to be able to block videos and channels (a feature regular YouTube should have) but when your kids starts pushing buttons and blocks one of the channels you shared to there account, your only option is to unblock all blocked videos. Why would you set it up like this? Is very frustrating, almost to the point of not wanting to use the app.

I love this version of YouTube for my little one. I appreciate the ease of access to educational videos and songs he sings along to. Unfortunately, we do not celebrate Halloween and avoid promoting scary stuff that keeps him up at night. But during the fall season, ALL SCARY STUFF AND HALLOWEEN is promoted. The app even updated to have the Halloween themed videos on the front page. I made sure it is his age range, but there are videos for toddlers, too!
