How does a child discover videos in YouTube Kids?

Videos in YouTube Kids can be discovered in several ways: 

Turn Search On: Turning Search on allows your child to find and watch millions of videos available in YouTube Kids. These videos are available in the app after being selected by an algorithm trained to return relevant and appropriate results. Videos available through search are not subject to human review. 

Turn Search Off: You can turn Search off if you prefer to restrict your child’s experience to a more limited set of videos. With search off, your child can’t search for new content but they can watch videos on the homescreen, which includes videos selected by the app, and those the app recommends based on what they’ve watched or searched.

Videos Selected by the App on the Homescreen. Videos selected by the app on the homescreen are grouped in four categories (“Shows,” “Music,” “Learning” and “Explore”). These videos are selected by the app using a mix of automated systems and some human review, and may be ranked by our systems based on what your child has watched or searched. These videos represent only a subset of the millions of videos available in YouTube Kids.

Recommended Videos. All recommended videos are selected by our algorithm without human review. Recommended videos, which show both when Search is on or off, will be generally presented as an additional category on the homescreen after multiple videos have been watched in YouTube Kids. Recommended videos may also appear in the four categories of videos on the homescreen and as suggestions for your child to watch, after they’ve watched videos on the homescreen or they’ve searched for a video. Recommended videos are based on what has been watched or searched in the app and always draw from the complete set of videos that are available in YouTube Kids.

Resetting Recommended Videos. You can always reset recommended videos by clearing the app’s watch history in parental settings. When your turn Search off, the app automatically resets recommended videos by clearing the watch and search history in your app; with Search off, recommended videos will be based only on the videos watched since Search was turned off, but will continue to select videos from the broad set of videos accessible from YouTube Kids.

YouTube Kids iOS app with Parental Control

The official YouTube Kids app is designed for curious little minds to dive into a world of discovery, learning and entertainment. This is a delightfully simple (and free!) app, where kids can discover videos, channels and playlists they love.

YouTube 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 four categories: Shows, Music, Learning 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, Apple TV, game consoles, or smart TVs.

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 is 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.
