YouTube Parental Control

What Is the YouTube Parental Control Feature?

Modern kids belong to a so-called "digital native" generation, which means they were born in the era of technology. These kids know how to use a tablet while not yet talking, and this is a new normal way of life. Kids now have a different approach to information processing: they are more likely not to remember a fact but to remember where to find information about it.

For most of these kids, using YouTube is a routine now. You probably know that the content on the YouTube platform is not always created for kids, and you still want to know how to monitor what your kid is watching there. The best way is to use a YouTube tracker.

With the help of uMobix, you can track YouTube's recently watched videos, see search history, and record likes and comments. This feature will allow you to monitor your kid's every step while using YouTube. The uMobix team developed this feature as an assistant to monitor YouTube activities and ensure your child doesn't watch inappropriate content.

How Does YouTube Parental Control Work?

Since the age restriction on YouTube doesn't always work properly, you cannot completely trust the platform regarding recommended videos or search results. But what you can do is install the uMobix Youtube parental control feature on your kid's device:

1. Tap on the "Try Now" button on our website to begin.
2. Set up your account by logging in with either a Google account or an email address.
3. Select what you want to monitor, either an Android device (version 5.1+) or an iOS and choose a subscription plan.
4. Now, you need to have your kid's phone handy. Follow the step-by-step instructions on your screen to install the app on your kid's device.
5. Afterward, go to your dashboard and open the YouTube section.

Once the software is installed, you need to give the system a few minutes to upload the data. As soon as your kid opens a YouTube app and starts watching it, you will see the added data every 10 seconds. The amount of information you will get with the help of our YouTube tracker is enormous. You will get access to the information about watched history on YouTube, all viewed videos, and all likes and comments.

Based on the data you see, you may either talk to your kid and ask not to watch certain videos or restrict the app for some time. The content for kids on YouTube is not well regulated, so it means that your child can accidentally see some videos that can potentially harm them. You cannot exclude the use of YouTube since it also has a lot of helpful content, but monitoring your kid is essential.
