In a bid to remove the hassle of turning on filters everywhere on YouTube Kids, Google has introduced content level feature consisting three different filtering levels. Namingly – there’s a ‘Younger’, ‘Older’ and ‘Approved content only’ option. The ‘Younger’ is the default setting for the children under the age of 8 years. The next level is ‘Older’, particularly, for the 8-12 age group. In ‘Approved content only’ users will be able to watch only the content that is marked as approved by the guardian. There are few improvements and fixes that are attached with the new update.

Users can change the levels by heading to the settings menu of the YouTube Kids app. The update is rolling out from Google, but few tweaks is done by Google via a server-side switch. Users can check for the YouTube update by heading to the Play Store.
