About this app

Inspire your kids to uncover their unique interests
Help your kids explore video content they love and parents trust, in an app made just for kids. With easy navigation tools and a suite of features, you can help your kids spend time online uncovering new interests, unleashing their imagination, and building their confidence in their own unique world.

Help your kids grow at their own pace
Your kids are unique, so they should only see content they're ready to explore. Decide what videos will help them make the most of their time online, then personalize individual profiles using custom content filters as they grow.

- Help your youngest kids learn their ABCs, nurture their curiosity, and more in the Preschool mode.
- Expand your kids interests to songs, cartoons, or DIY crafts in Younger mode.
- Give your older kids the freedom to search popular music and gaming videos in Older mode.
- Or hand-pick the videos, channels, and collections your kids can see in Approved Content Only mode.

Rewatch videos and bond over favorites
Quickly find your kids’ favorite videos and the content you’ve shared with them in the Watch it Again tab.

Shape your kids’ viewing experience with Parental Controls
Parental Control features help you limit what your kids watch and better guide their viewing experience. Our blocking process aims to help keep videos on YouTube Kids family-friendly and safe – but each family's preferences are unique. Don't like a video or channel, or see inappropriate content? Flag it for our team to review.

Set a screen-time limit
Encourage your kids to take a break in between exploring content. Use the Timer feature to freeze the app when screen time is up so your kids can apply their new skills to the real world.

I like the app especially after you play around with it to learn it. I really wish the search was still functional with he approved content only set. it would make it easier to find the videos that my child is enjoying at the moment or trying to find seasonal videos or the videos that was approved alone over the whole channel approval. Also, I would like to see the shorts and the long form separated like the regular YouTube so that those can be easily approved/unapproved.

its hard to navigate even for parents. not all the shows on regular kids approved channels are in this app. so I still need to go to regular YouTube to access those. You cant even delete a downloaded video easily. You have to block the video! like seriously just put a delete button. im sure you can ask some AI to add that if your device team is "too busy"

YouTube Kids is really good for children. My child is two years old, and he used to watch a lot of short videos, because of which his patience level had decreased quite a bit. Since I started using YouTube Kids for him, I’ve noticed a great improvement in his patience level and He watches the videos with a lot of interest. The app also has a lot of educational and informative content, which is helping him learn many new things. I would definitely recommend this app to all parents.
