YouTube Kids is basically a separate version of the internet’s leading destination for video, but it's aimed squarely at children. YouTube Kids limits the world of content on the service to curated, family-friendly videos, channels, and educational clips. The app’s interface features large images, colourful icons, and carefully-selected launch vide...
Set up and create profiles
1. Download the YouTube Kids appon your iOS or Android device. It's free. 2. If it's your first time using the YouTube Kids app, the parent (you) will have to set it up: enter the year you were born, and then read through the warning splash screen, which says the app is designed to exclude inappropriate content from kids, though it's still possible your child may find something you don't want them to watch. On the next screen, you'll see info about how to block and report a video, if necessar...

Kid-friendly content
The No. 1 way that YouTube Kids app is different from the main YouTube app is that content has been narrowed to content appropriate for kids. Google is already bragging about how it has big names on board, too, such as: DreamWorksTV, Jim Henson TV, Mother Goose Club, Talking Tom and Friends, etc. You can browse channels and playlists in five categories or search for videos with your voice or text input. We searched for things like "Barney" and found full episodes of the TV show Barney & Frien...
Parental controls
One of the best parts about YouTube Kids is all the new parental controls. As we mentioned earlier, you must bypass a nifty lock screen to get into Settings, and once you do, you can save your sanity by adjusting sounds and music. You can even decide if you want your kids to be able to search. If not, they'll be limited to highlighted category videos. It's literally just an app for videos; there's no social aspect. That means your children can watch Sesame Street videos without seeing the com...
