YouTube Kids

YouTube Kids is a video app designed specifically for children. It offers a safer online experience by providing a contained environment filled with family-friendly videos on various topics. The app aims to ignite children's creativity and playfulness while allowing parents and caregivers to guide their journey of discovering new interests. YouTube Kids employs a combination of automated filters, human review, and feedback from parents to ensure that the videos are appropriate for young users. However, no system is perfect, and inappropriate content can sometimes slip through. The app constantly works to improve its safeguards and provides features such as parental controls to help parents create the right experience for their families. With parental controls, parents can set time limits for screen time, keep track of their child's watched videos, block specific videos or channels, and flag inappropriate content for review. YouTube Kids allows for customization by offering up to eight individual kid profiles, each with their own viewing preferences, video recommendations, and settings. Parents can choose between different modes such as "Approved Content Only" or select an age category (Preschool, Younger, or Older) to tailor the content to their child's needs. The app's library includes a wide range of family-friendly videos on various topics, including favorite shows, music, educational content, and fun activities. It is important to note that parental setup is required to ensure the best experience for kids, and there may be commercial content from YouTube creators that are not paid ads. The app follows privacy practices outlined in the Privacy Notice for Google Accounts managed with Family Link or the YouTube Kids Privacy Notice.
