How To Put Parental Controls On YouTube

Hear Voices from Parents

Recently, my daughter has been involved in Snapchat, AirDroid Parental Control helped me to know the truth.

With AirDroid Parental Control, I don't have to struggle to balance my son’s online independence with his safety even if I'm not around.

You’re able to hide the app icon from view on your children's Android devices so they are unaware of its presence. Well done to the app developers!

5 plus stars in my opinion! View all notifications ur child receives, see their battery charge, their location, open up their camera, and see in real-time video of what’s happening and one-way audio!

The ability to set daily limits ensures my son balances his online activities with homework and family time. His focus and overall mood have improved significantly!

It allows me to block specific apps on my child's device. It gives me peace of mind knowing that they can't access inappropriate games or distractions during study hours.

What I loved most about the app is the ability to set up a geo-fence which immediately alerts me when my son goes to a region that I have marked as a no-go-zone.

I can monitor the kind of content my child interacts with online. It alerts me to any concerning keywords, allowing me to address potential issues early on.

I'm beyond impressed with AirDroid Kids's stealth mode for Android, providing me with peace of mind. I can protect my teens without them feeling intruded upon.

FAQs & Hot Topics

FAQs Hot Topics
Is YouTube Kids 100% safe?
For parents looking for additional peace of mind, YouTube Kids provides curated content designed for children from preschool through age 12. Parents should be aware that switching to YouTube Kids isn’t a perfect solution. There’s still a chance that inappropriate content may slip through the filters. In fact, a study by Common Sense Media found that 27% of videos watched by kids 8 and under are intended for older audiences. And for families concerned about ads, YouTube Kids still has plenty of those - targeted specifically toward younger children. Keeping an eye on what your child is watching and talking to them about inappropriate videos and sponsored content is still a good idea even with YouTube Kids.
It’s also worth noting that kids under 12 who have a special interest they want to pursue may find YouTube Kids limiting. A child looking to watch Minecraft instructional videos or do a deep dive into space exploration, for example, can find a lot more options on standard YouTube - plenty of which are perfectly appropriate for kids, even if they aren’t specifically geared toward them. In cases like this, parental controls and active monitoring with AirDroid Parental Control are especially useful.
How to limit YouTube time on iPhone?

  8. Tap 'Done' on the top right corner.
  9. Toggle on the limits and all done!
Can I set up parental controls on YouTube remotely?
While YouTube offers some built-in parental control settings, you have to manually review your child’s content and watch history on the child's device to catch any concerning content. AirDroid Parental Control is a parental monitoring app that fills in the gaps. If your child is using Android, here’s how AirDroid Parental Control helps you supervise your child’s YouTube activity remotely:
  • You can check the number of YouTube videos your child has watched and the total duration of the time.
  • You can either view all of your child's view history of YouTube videos.
  • After you add harmful keywords, AirDroid Parental Control can automatically scan your child’s YouTube video activity and flag anything concerning, so you’ll know when you need to step in.
  • Define the time usage limit for YouTube or block YouTube in one click.
  • Schedule downtime of your child's device.
  • You can check the browsing history and block any website if your child uses the web browser to watch YouTube videos.
How do I restrict YouTube under 18 content?
YouTube allows you to enable "Restricted Mode" by logging in to your account and navigating through the settings. For YouTube Kids, you can turn off the "Search" setting to inhibit kids from searching all the videos over the network. Note that both filters are not 100% accurate and you can use AirDroid Parental Control to detect inappropriate video titles, descriptions and comments from which kids have searched, viewed or posted.
What type of videos are on YouTube Kids?
Due to regular updates, the availability of channels and videos may change. The "Shows" section features clips and full episodes of popular children's programs like Winnie the Pooh and Thomas and Friends. The "Music" section includes both classic and modern kids' songs. In the "Learning" section, you'll find educational clips from sources like Khan Academy, PBS Kids, and TED-Ed. The "Explore" section offers a wide range of user-created content, toy-related videos (including many "unboxing" clips), and other kid-friendly content, alongside channels from brands like McDonald's. According to a report by Common Sense Media, most videos watched by kids are primarily entertainment-focused rather than educational.
How much does AirDroid Parental Control cost?
AirDroid Parental Control is so affordable. Premium is $9.99/month, $19.99/quarter, or $59.99/year. Only $0.16 per day for the yearly plan, is way less than the price of your daily coffee! See pricing >>>
