About YouTube Kids

The official YouTube Kids app is designed for curious little minds. This is a delightfully simple (and free!) app, where kids can discover videos, channels and playlists they love.

We work hard to offer a safer YouTube experience, but no automated system is perfect. If you ever find a video you’re concerned about, please flag it. This helps make YouTube Kids better for everyone. For more important notes about the app, please see below.

DESIGNED FOR KIDS
To make exploration easy, videos in the app are split into relevant categories such as: Shows, Music, Learning, Gaming and Explore. We also took out the complicated stuff to make an app even little ones can navigate -- that means big buttons, easy scrolling, and instant full-screen. And when the whole family wants to enjoy their favorite videos together, everyone can watch on the big screen with Chromecast, game consoles, or smart TVs.

VIDEOS KIDS WILL LOVE
Kids can enjoy favorites like Thomas & Friends, DreamworksTV and Talking Tom, online hits like Mother Goose Club, Super Simple Songs and Wonder Quest, plus anything else they’re into -- sports, animals, gaming, crafts and more.

GROWN-UPS ARE IN CONTROL
We know that every family is different, so we’ve included features that let grown-ups tailor the YouTube Kids experience to their family’s needs. Settings are found behind a grown-ups-only lock where you can turn off search for a more restricted experience or set a built-in timer to let kids know when it’s time to stop watching so you don’t have to.

For more information about the app and settings, please read our Parental Guide.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE APP
Parental setup is needed to ensure the best experience possible for your child.
YouTube Kids contains paid ads in order to offer the app for free. Your child may also see videos with commercial content from YouTube creators that are not paid ads. For more information, please check out our Parental Guide.
Videos in the app are selected by our automated systems. Please note, no system is perfect, and it’s possible that your child may find something you don’t want them to watch. If your child finds a video that you feel is inappropriate, please flag the video and it will be reviewed as soon as possible.
You can restrict your child’s experience by turning search off in the set-up flow or by accessing the settings behind the grown-ups-only lock. This means your child can’t search for content, which reduces the chances that they will encounter a video you don’t want them to watch
Whether search is on or off, the app will recommend videos selected by our automated systems from the broad set of videos accessible in YouTube Kids.

Important information for Google accounts created in Family Link. In some countries, we allow parents to create Google Accounts for children under the age of 13 in Family Link and allow these children to sign into YouTube Kids with their Google Account. These parents will be able to access parental settings in the Family Link app on their own device. These parents can also enable an additional content level setting in YouTube Kids. This setting can be set to “older” if the parent feels their child is ready to watch a less restricted set of videos from the broader universe of YouTube videos. These videos may contain some explicit language and imagery, violence and suggestive content. Our systems try to filter out content that is not appropriate for kids, but no automated system is perfect and your child may come across content with nudity, highly offensive language, and extreme violence.

The Privacy Notice for Google Accounts created in Family Link describes our privacy practices when your child uses YouTube Kids with their Google Account. When your child uses YouTube Kids without signing into their Google Account, the YouTube Kids Privacy Notice applies.

I put this on for my 1 year old and she gets sooo into it! Love seeing her engaged in these videos and having it be safe enough that I can actually let her watch it alone is great <3. The only cons I could think of so far is that if she touches something on the screen it stops/changes the video. It would be helpful to add a screen lock feature so the videos auto play without risking it changing if she's holding the device directly.

First of all, to all those idiots (And I mean you, 9 year olds) who just whine about the app being boring, since, their little so - called 'celebrity', known as You-Tubers don't have their content shown, guess what, numbbrains? These guys use offensive words and have multiple portrayals of violence in their videos, things, a kid of your age should never view. It's at this age, that children learn, not build up their vast vocabulary of bad words. This app is meant to teach kids, not to let them watch videos with profanity. Secondly, before you become instant 'critics' , learn to brush up on your English skills, useless idiots. And, to think you all are the 'People of the future'.

Some of the content is so awful, just terrible, not good, bad! It just plays in the queue after a video we selected. You constantly have to be on top of your child. Such rubbish, opening toys? Really?

I just put Peppa Pig on for my three year old and a clown with a chainsaw hacked them into pieces. I have spent the last hour watching what auto populates and it is atrocious. Blocking these videos isn't good enough YouTube should so something about this. Absolutely disappointed at the nasty content that has been allowed into this platform. Use with caution!!

Q70%
by Q####:

It's hard to do your work or have a break from children mostly because they can't entertain or take care of themselves, though this app has many videos that have nothing to do with the laws of physics it has no innapropriate content and allows for you to have your break. Some of it is educational but a good 13 is useless garbage like an animated kid tripping even when there is nothing to trip on and is somehow supposed to be funny. All I'm trying to say is its good but not 100% what it says and not a good education for kids.

Q70%
by Q####:

I have no idea if this app is good or not because Google have not followed their own user interface principles and have a parental pin code screen that doesn't use the standard keyboard, and the number keys are outside the field of view of my child's smartwatch, so I can't touch them.

First of all. All these kids that are over 8yrs old, stop putting this app down. It's for kids under 8 years old. It even says it right on the app before you download it. . So, of course it will bore you. It ain't for your age group. Duh! Now, my review.. My grandson is only 2 and he loves YouTube Kids! He has learned all of his ABC's, counting to 10 and backwards to 1. He also, knows all his colors. He is always pointing saying, yellow, blue, pink, red and saying, numbers or letters with the colors. I am very satisfied with this wonderful website for little kids. If, anyone has bad things to say about this site. Don't listen to them. Nothing but, 5 stars!!!!

Look my sister doesn't like the app also it still has inappropriate videos I know I searched up one of the inappropriate channels and it was there like seriously only toy opening videos, my sis is 4 she gets bored easily and nothing she likes is on there, I looked up stampy and it doesn't even have all of his videos and he's appropriate for my sis age.

Q70%
by Q####:

Google should be ashamed of itself for the poor parental interface on this. Nearly a perfect app, but Google caters to their million-dollar stars with all the toy opening apps. As hard as I try, I cannot rid the app of these! One problem is that it only allows me to block specific videos, but not entire channels or users. (Yes, sometimes, rarely, you can block entire channels from the main screen, but it is never for these annoying user-generated channels.) I sit on my phone for 15 minutes at a time blocking previously-viewed videos and all the new ones that pop up in the queue. For every toy opening, play doh, or egg video I block, 1 or 2 more pop up in the queue! It -never- ends. Please, please, make it easier to control this chaos. Idea: allow me to review content FROM THE WEB INTERFACE. Doing it from within the phone is so slow, clunky, and ineffective. It's a no-brainer to provide the watch-history to me on my main Google account, with ability to block videos and channels from there! Please, more blocking power. I block over 100 videos a day, doing it before and after my kid has his screen time. Google, you are SO close! Another idea: flags for toys, eggs, etc

Love this for my five year old, she doesn't seem to have access to inappropriate content anymore. We're much happier with her watching on the kids app instead of normal YouTube. Thank you for thinking of this version.

I started letting my child watch this a couple of months ago. It has been wonderful but now all of a sudden I see a man feeding a baby alive a candy bar and it pooping. He then precedes to wipe it a little to much more than needed. Then I see a different man put a baby doll into a microwave. I'm unsure of if I am over reacting but this isn't okay in my eyes. I reported both videos and blocked them.
