How to Block Videos on YouTube Kids App
YouTube Kids is a great app for kids to watch age-appropriate videos. However, there are times when you might want to block certain videos from appearing on the app.
Here are some ways to block videos on the YouTube Kids app:
1. Use the "Dislike" Feature
- Dislike a video: When your child watches a video they don't like, you can have them tap the dislike button. This tells YouTube Kids to show them less content like that in the future.
- Disable disliking: You can also disable the dislike feature in the YouTube Kids app settings. This will prevent your child from disliking videos.
2. Report Videos
- Report inappropriate content: If you see a video that you consider inappropriate for children, you can report it to YouTube.
- Report via the app: Tap on the three dots in the upper right corner of the video and select "Report".
3. Block Specific Channels
- Block individual channels: Go to the Settings on the YouTube Kids app, then navigate to the Channels tab.
- Choose "Block": You can block specific channels that you don't want your child to watch.
4. Create a Custom Watchlist
- Create a watchlist: You can create a custom watchlist with videos and channels you approve of. This will ensure that your child only sees content you deem appropriate.
5. Use the "Approved Content Only" Mode
- Switch to "Approved Content Only": This mode limits content to only what you've explicitly allowed.
- Parental controls: You can use this mode to create a safe space for your child to explore YouTube Kids.
6. Use Google Family Link
- Use Family Link: This app allows you to set screen time limits, block specific apps, and manage other aspects of your child's internet usage.
