A safer online experience for kids
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. But no system is perfect and inappropriate videos can slip through, so we’re constantly working to improve our safeguards and offer more features to help parents create the right experience for their families.

Customize your child’s experience with Parental Controls
Limit screen time: Set a time limit for how long your kids can watch and help encourage their transition from watching to doing.
Keep up with what they watch: Simply check the watch it again page and you’ll always know what they’ve watched and the newest interests they’re exploring.
Blocking: Don’t like a video? Block the video or whole channel, and never see it again.
Flagging: You can always alert us to inappropriate content by flagging a video for review. Flagged videos are reviewed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Create individual experiences as unique as your kids
Create up to eight kid profiles, each with their own viewing preferences, video recommendations, and settings. Choose from “Approved Content Only” mode or select an age category that fits your child, “Preschool”, “Younger”, or “Older”.

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. In this mode, kids won’t be able to search for videos. The “Preschool” Mode designed for kids 4 and under curates videos that promote creativity, playfulness, learning, and exploration. The “Younger” Mode allows kids 5-8 to explore their interests in a wide variety of topics including songs, cartoons, and crafts. 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.

All kinds of videos for all kinds of kids
Our library is filled with family-friendly videos on all different topics, igniting your kids’ inner creativity and playfulness. It’s everything from their favorite shows and music to learning how to build a model volcano (or make slime ;-), and everything in between.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

4 ★It's a little whacky, but I think I've finally figured out how I like to use it. Little is 21 mos. I hand-pick all his content and create new profiles for each type as a workaround for not being able to create channels within his profile. I also have the starting videos midway issue. There's also no loop video function, which would be great for white noise videos. I've got this on both iPad Pro and Android. Would be even better if switching to a different app were disabled (passcode unlockable).
1 ★Blocking videos is pointless as they're replaced by the exact same thing with a different language or different uploader. Way too much inappropriate content available. Can't turn off "Cast to device" so constant issues with accidentally casting to televisions including ones NOT in our home, like all the way over at the neighbor's. I hate the locking feature, as it only locks when the video is not full screen and can't be unlocked without turning my screen off and back on.
2 ★I love the option to handpick the content my toddlers can watch. There are a few educational videos they love that are only available on youtube. But the screen cast button doesnt appear even when I toggle the setting on and off. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the app. It's a pretty useless app if I can't cast to my tv. I'm not going to have my two toddlers crowded around my phone when we'rr at home and we have a tv with a Chromecast. so ive had to use the regular youtube app again anyway
1 ★I cannot edit or change my daughters settings. I know there is supposed to be a lock in the bottom right corner but all there is is a little cog for the settings and it gives nothing in the way of controls and I cant seem to find how to fix this! I cant control her screen time or what she watches so I've just had to disable the app altogether and re-enable it for a short but and constantly have to block videos or channels.
2 ★Too simple, all I want to do is subscribe to a handfull of channels and let that be the YouTube they can watch. I'm trying to choose only educational channels and documentaries which doesn't seem at all possible. Ideally, I'd like it to look like YouTube normally, but it shows "kid" and educational content only. I feel like some of these suggested videos are cheap pacifiers, not enriching.
2 ★An otherwise good app is rendered useless to me because of the offline videos feature. Not letting the user download videos for use offline makes no sense. Instead, the app supposedly downloads videos it thinks you'll want to watch on its own time. Sometimes there are videos there and sometimes they're just gone with a message 'We haven't downloaded any videos yet.' I love not knowing whether my kid will have videos to watch whenever I pull out the phone in the car.
5 ★My kids love this app more then anything. They use it in the car before bed and anytime they are bored. Love that I can make different profiles for the kids so it keeps their likes and watch lists seperate! It's nice cause there's not a whole lot of ads like YouTube has and they are short and easy for my 2 year old. Sometimes kids don't understand the reasoning for ads.
2 ★Lacking. I have a 6 year old. On the setting for 5 to 7 there are no cc subtitle options. Also. If she decides she loves the background music or song, there is no credit given for who or what is in the video as there would be under a standard youtube video. Makes it difficult because i prefer she turn the sound off but if there are no captions shes stuck just watching. And without the descriptions under the video she cant search for similar things either. The concept is great, just needs more.
5 ★Great app that I can trust my children to be on without coming across anything inappropriate or changing any settings. Its very simple for them to use independently, making it easy for them to switch videos and remain on the app without accidently closing it out, saving us from many meltdowns. My only problem is how easy it is for them to cast their videos onto other devices. There have been many times baby shark has abruptly appeared on my smart TV in the middle of my shows! Lol
5 ★My kids LOVE this app. I find it more educational and a lot better for them than regular youtube or other video apps. This offers both of my kids plenty of options for both age ranges and with having a timer option, they dont fight over taking turns. It will automatically cut off the video, saying "Times up!" and they will come in excitedly stating, my turn! It helps teach them patience for sure 😁 I recommend this app 10/10 and 10 stars if i could!
2 ★Extremely subpar version of the actual app. You block one channel, another one just like it replaces it. There's no option for autoplay to pause and aks if you're still there like the normal app. The search feature isn't that great. And the worst part is still finding content that is definitely not age appropriate for a 3 year old who loves Blippi and BabyBus.
3 ★while it's easier to use and safer for kids, there are way more ads. In the morning there is an ad after every video. There are still a lot of videos where the title is in another language. I wish I could customize to only English videos for my 1 year old. There are still occassionally inappropriate videos which can easily be blocked or reported. My kids like to watch the same videos over and over but it almost never starts at the beginning.
