We’ve built YouTube Kids to be a family-friendly place for kids to explore their interests. We use a mix of algorithmic filtering, user input, and human review to figure out what videos should be.
YouTube Kids provides a more contained environment for kids to explore YouTube and makes it easier for parents and caregivers to guide their journey.
Today, we’re introducing the YouTube Kids app, the first Google product built from the ground up with little ones in mind. The app makes it safer and easier for children to find videos on topics they want to explore, and is available for free on Google Play and the App Store in the U.S. Bright and playful design.
