If you have children and they use the YouTube Kids app you can now lock down what they view to human reviewed channels only. Up until now you could lock things down, but you didn’t know if it was just reviewed by algorithms and this made some of the content questionable for kids. The new setting isn’t on by default and requires the parent to opt-in. While this is a nice to have update to the app it’s still important for parents to be involved with what their children watch. Kudos to YouTube for finally getting this out there.



The new features will allow parents to lock down the YouTube Kids app so it only displays those channels* that have been reviewed by humans, not just algorithms. And this includes both the content displayed within the app itself, as well as the recommended videos. A later update will allow parents to configure which videos and channels, specifically, can be viewed.
