YouTube Kids

YouTube Kids is the video app designed specifically for children, giving parents peace of mind while kids explore content they love in a safe, curated environment. With intuitive navigation and powerful parental controls, you can guide your children's viewing journey as they discover new interests, spark their imagination, and build confidence at their own pace.

Every child develops differently, so YouTube Kids lets you customize the experience to match what your children are ready to explore. Create individual profiles with content filters tailored to each child's age and maturity level. Choose from four preset modes: Preschool helps your youngest learn foundational skills like letters and numbers while nurturing curiosity; Younger mode opens up songs, cartoons, and creative crafts; Older mode gives older children access to popular music and gaming videos; or use Approved content only mode to hand-pick exactly which videos, channels, and collections your children can watch. As they grow, you can adjust their settings to expand their world without losing control.

Parental controls put you in the driver's seat of your children's viewing experience. Flag any video or channel that doesn't feel right for your family, and our team reviews it to help keep the app family-friendly. You maintain full visibility into what they're watching and can block content that doesn't align with your family values. The app clearly indicates when videos contain commercial content from creators so you know exactly what your children are seeing.

Managing screen time has never been easier. Set a timer to encourage healthy breaks between viewing sessions, and the app automatically freezes when time's up—helping your children transition offline and apply what they've learned to real-world play and activities. Use the Watch it again tab to quickly revisit favourite videos you've shared together, creating opportunities to bond over content you both enjoy.

YouTube Kids requires parental setup during initial installation to ensure the best and safest experience for your family. Whether your children sign in with a Google Account managed through Family Link or use the app without signing in, you'll have access to the parental controls and monitoring tools you need. Download YouTube Kids today and help your children discover their passions in a trusted space.
