Google released youtube for kids

The search giant announced the release of a special version of YouTube for Android and iOS , which is specifically designed for viewing by children. The YouTube Kids app can offer a child 4 categories of video: Shows, Music, Learning and Explore, and ensures that he does not see the content intended for adults. So far, YouTube "for children" is officially available only in the United States - this restriction is due to the need to select safe content.

The application is designed for children of about 3 years and more. The developers say that it is designed so that the child can easily find the cartoon series he is interested in: the design is distinguished by bright elements and large images. For those who still do not know the letters and can not write, there is a voice search.

The main difference from the adult version is not only the "child" content, but also the means of parental control. In the timer it will be possible to set the time after which the application closes, so that it will be possible to control the time the child communicates with the gadget. Sound settings will turn off background sounds and special effects. You can also limit the search to only those videos that are present on the home screen.
