We’re as focused on kids’ safety as you are, so we’ve built the YouTube Kids app to be a family-friendly place to explore.

When your child browses the app’s home screen, they’ll find a vast selection of kid-appropriate channels and playlists. When families search in the app, we use a mix of input from our users and automated analysts to categorize and screen out the videos that make parents nervous.

And for added peace of mind, parents can quickly notify YouTube if they see anything questionable directly from the app.

The app is rated 4+, optimized for iPhone 5 and iPhone 6, and has family sharing enabled.
