Apple TV Users Can Now Enjoy YouTube Kids

YouTube Kids is a service by Google that is focused on children and is loved widely by parents. Now, this video streaming service is available on Apple TV too. According to the recent announcement by the company, many users across the globe can now download Youtube Kids from the App Store. If you are a user who wants to launch YouTube Kids for your tiny tots, you can easily use it even without a Google login. Many Apple TV users in the UK, US and a myriad of other countries can enjoy YouTube Kids now.
YouTube Kids provides a child-friendly environment for kids. The video streaming service is selective in the sense that it prohibits any information or entertainment that is not good and appropriate for your child. It is a well-contained platform that’s different from the usual YouTube. It is mainly suitable for children under the age group of 3-8 years. A parental setup is a must to get started. The parental control helps parents to set some restrictions on their kids for the usage of YouTube kids. They can easily set content restrictions, viewing limits and more. Parents have found this feature useful as they can now keep an eye on what kind of content is served to their children, without hampering their enjoyment.
Four categories are provided to the users on the homepage. These categories are namely, Shows, Music, Learning and Explore.   Just like the usual YouTube, recommendations will be provided based on the previously viewed content. Another beautiful aspect that adds to the highlights of YouTube Kids is its smart search bar. Parents love the fact that whenever someone types any inappropriate term in the search bar, it automatically suggests the user to try looking for something else. Moreover, parents can also select some programmes they want their children to watch. With all these features and functions, and other advancements in the recent past, YouTube Kids has become a safe and trustworthy video streaming platform for kids.
With Apple TV making YouTube Kids available for its users, it has also made it easier for users to access it. Simply sign in to your existing account and transfer the parental controls to your Apple TV. As a part of this, you can also modify the settings easily from the phone app or tablet. There are two ways of making YouTube Kids accessible to the younger ones. One is when you can keep the content wide open for the kids. The content on YouTube Kids is already filtered so as to make it fit for your child. Or, you can use the second way, in which you decide the shows and programs for your kids. In both of these ways, you can sit back and relax. Since its inception in 2015, YouTube kids has always promised to make video streaming a safe yet entertaining experience for the young ones. It is widely used by working parents, who can’t keep an eye on their children’s internet activities and behaviours for 24 hours.
However, just like every good thing faces criticism, YouTube Kids has also seen a face of criticism. Some say that a few of its contents contain acts of violence, that may influence the children to do the same. These controversies make it essential for parents to stay alert at all times.  It is vital to keep a check on your child’s video watching activity, even if they use YouTube kids. No matter how many such video streaming service providers provide the guarantee of appropriate data, it is the parents’ responsibility more to monitor the usage. A cautious parent is a good parent.
