Gives parents peace of mind and a child a safe online viewing experience

YouTube have launched a child-friendly version of their popular video sharing site. This was first introduced in the US but now has been made available in the UK.

The child-friendly version filters out inappropriate content and hides comments on videos. It does not allow them to login to the platform and ads are screened to ensure that they are appropriate for children.

Videos are grouped in four categories; shows, music, learning and explore. For all those parents worried about their child viewing inappropriate content on YouTube this app will give you peace of mind. However, we would still encourage you to talk to your child about what they are watching on the app.

Age: 4+

Cost: Free

Available on: Android and iOS
