YouTube Kids Status

YouTube Kids was created to give kids a more contained environment filled with family-friendly videos on all different topics, igniting your kids’ inner creativity and playfulness.  We work hard to keep the videos on YouTube Kids family-friendly and use a mix of automated filters built by our engineering teams, human review, and feedback from parents to protect our youngest users online.  While our “Older” Mode gives kids 9 and up the chance to search and explore additional content such as popular music and gaming videos for kids.  The “Preschool” Mode designed for kids 4 and under curates videos that promote creativity, playfulness, learning, and exploration.  Select the “Approved Content Only” mode if you want to handpick the videos, channels and/or collections that you’ve approved your child to watch.  The Privacy Notice for Google Accounts managed with Family Link describes our privacy practices when your kid uses YouTube Kids with their Google Account.  The “Younger” Mode allows kids 5-8 to explore their interests in a wide variety of topics including songs, cartoons, and crafts.  Our library is filled with family-friendly videos on all different topics, igniting your kids’ inner creativity and playfulness.  In this mode, kids won’t be able to search for videos.  Parents and caregivers can guide the journey as your kids discover new and exciting interests along the way.
