New features and improvements have just been announced for the YouTube Kids app. According to Google, some of these improvements will be available Android starting today and will arrive on iOS later on.
As a matter fact, two updates have been launched today, which bring parent-approved content and a new YouTube experience for older kids. The first thing shared by Google is the new parental control that enables parents to manually choose each video and channel available to their child in the app.
The new parental controls are only available on Android for the time being, but it will be released on iOS very soon, so be patient if you're an Apple user. In order to activate this feature, simply go to settings and open the child's profile. Then, select “approved content only” and you'll be able to choose what videos your kids can watch. To make things much easier, you can choose entire channels, collections or videos belonging to a certain creator by tapping the “+” button.
The second update brings a new experience customized for children of 8 to 12 years, which includes additional new content such as music and gaming videos. Parents can now choose this experience specifically built for older kids when they set up a new profile or update an existing one.
