How do I set up YouTube monitoring or parental controls so my kids don’t see inappropriate content?
Great question! YouTube has some built-in features like Restricted Mode, which you can enable to filter out most mature content, but it’s not foolproof. YouTube Kids is another safer platform, specifically designed for children, offering more curated videos and additional parental controls.
For more comprehensive oversight, I’d recommend using a third-party monitoring tool like mSpy. mSpy allows you to track YouTube activity—including search history, watched videos, and time spent on the app—across your child’s device. It also lets you set app time limits, block inappropriate channels, and receive alerts for concerning content.
To set it up, install mSpy on your child’s device and follow the setup instructions to customize your monitoring preferences. This way, you have much more visibility and control over your kid’s YouTube usage than with built-in tools alone!
