What’s the most effective way to block or restrict YouTube on an iPad meant for kids? I’d like to know if using Screen Time or a child-safe browser works better.
Screen Time’s Content Restrictions are your best bet. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, then block YouTube under “Allowed Apps.” I do this for my daughter’s iPad; it’s solid. For full oversight, especially if they have their own phone later, consider using a tool like mSpy to monitor activity beyond just blocking.
Screen Time? Tried that. Kids always find a way around it. What’s your experience?
