Why parents need it
YouTube wasn't built for children.
Regular YouTube — and even YouTube Kids — leans on an algorithm that decides what plays next. It optimises for watch time, not what's right for your child. Kids Social takes the algorithm out of the picture entirely.
Autoplay surprises
One safe video quietly leads to another you never chose — and then another.
Endless Shorts
A bottomless feed of clips is hard to switch off and impossible to fully vet.
Recommendations
The "up next" rail is chosen for engagement, not for your family's values.
Adverts
Ads interrupt viewing and can show your child things you'd never pick.
Everything in the app
Full control, built for peace of mind
Every feature is designed around one idea: you decide exactly what your child watches, and nothing gets past you.
Kids Mode
Hand over the device with confidence. A clean, simple space showing only the content you've approved — nothing else to tap into.
Screen-time schedules
Set daily limits and viewing windows. When time's up, play stops — and the limit is still enforced even if the device goes offline.
PIN protection
Approvals, settings, and leaving Kids Mode are all locked behind your parent PIN. Children can't change the rules you've set.
Safe Shorts
A short-video feed built only from the channels you approve — the fun of Shorts, without the bottomless stream of the unknown.
Activity you can see
A parent dashboard shows what your child watched and for how long. Watch history is yours alone and auto-deletes after 14 days.
Playlists
Group approved videos into tidy playlists — a bedtime set, a learning set — so the right content is one tap away.
Private by design
Videos play through YouTube's privacy-enhanced player. We show no ads of our own and build no advertising profiles, and we collect no personal data from children.
How to use Kids Social
Set up once, in four simple steps

Sign up as the parent and start your 7-day free trial. You hold the account — your child never needs a login.

Switch to Kids Mode and give your child the device. They watch only what you approved — safely.
Privacy first
Built to protect children, not profile them
Kids Social is a parental-control tool. Parents are the account holders, and children's privacy sits at the centre of how it's built — not bolted on afterwards.
We don't sell data, we show no adverts of our own, and we don't build advertising profiles. What little is stored is there for you, the parent.

YouTube Kids still relies on an algorithm to suggest videos, so content you didn't pick can appear. Kids Social is whitelist-only: your child sees only the channels and videos you personally approve, and everything else is blocked automatically.
No. Kids Social collects no personal data from children. Children don't create accounts. We show no ads ourselves and build no advertising profiles. Watch history is stored only for you, the parent, and automatically deletes after 14 days.

It's made for parents of young children through pre-teens — any age where you want to decide exactly what's watched rather than leave it to an algorithm.
