Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
you can randomly disable the whitelist feature when you refuse to moderate your platform. YTK went from a curated whitelist to showing anything and everything. My version of the app I manage my kids devices from still shows the whitelist setting in enabled but their version on their devices no longer has the setting and the content shown reflects that.

Please move the settings button when you are watching a video — it's right over the recommended videos and my kid keeps hitting it by accident but doesn't understand how to get back to the video. Put it near the 3-dot menu or anywhere less disruptive & it would make the app so much more child friendly. OR require it to be press & hold, not just a tap button. Thankyou.

Its very annoying how I can't stop the music that plays as soon as I open the app. Sometimes I open the app when my child is sleepy, so I can play a lullaby but that music wakes him up every single time. Also, you can't create a playlist, so if you want to listen to a specific song again, you have to go through all the videos that have been watched till you find it. And kids click on everything, so there are a lot of videos to go through! The search option doesn't work well either.
