Some weeks ago we showed how to enable the Youtube Parental Control<\/a>, so your kids could watch any video they wish without you having to watch them all the time. Today, we bring you an article about the new app from YouTube, which takes the concept of video control a bit further, YouTube Kids<\/b>.<\/p>\n

YouTube Kids<\/h3>\n

YouTube released an app for kids some days ago, this app is called YouTube Kids, which was first released in America, however it wasn\u2019t available in Spain until a few days ago. This new app from the giant of videos on the internet can be found for Android, iOs and Windows. Although it\u2019s called YT Kids on Android. The fact that YouTube Kids is available in the different most known platforms makes it reach almost any kids or parents with a mobile device on Earth. <\/p>\n

As we already know in SecureKids<\/a>, minors tend to use technology at an earlier age. So it\u2019s no wonder that they use any device, smartphone or tablet, at home when they are 3 years old or so, by the age of 7 or 8 they can even own their own smartphone or tablet. Google has noticed it at last, and has released a product specialized on them, listening to parents\u2019 requests.<\/p>\n

How it works?<\/h3>\n

This service is so easy to use, previous or additional configuration is not required once it is installed in the device. Although it is recommended to set a password depending on the age of your kids.<\/p>\n

What you have to do to set a password is go to the app, tap on the padlock on the bottom right side of the screen and type the 4 digits shown. After that, go to \u201cSettings\u201d and find \u201cAdult verification\u201d. Tap on \u201cCreate password\u201d, and choose your 4-digit password. This is useful so your kids don\u2019t change your account settings.<\/p>\n\n

Our first impression of YouTube Kids is that is extremely easy to use and very intuitive.
\nA huge magnifying glass, where you can search your kids’ favorite videos and 5 icons on the top area to search in the different categories.<\/p>\n

To highlight an aspect which I don\u2019t like, it is the watch shown on the left side, which I didn\u2019t know what it was for in the beginning. However, once you tap on it for the first time, you see what it\u2019s for, the videos you haven seen. It is kind of a video history and it works like a shortcut so your kids can rewatch them easily.<\/p>\n
