YouTube Kids is finally getting a long-awaited feature that brings a fresh look to its mobile app. As a part of YouTube's efforts to implement modern design, the YouTube Kids app UI now boasts a cleaner and smoother interface along with new features that will make exploring content on the platform easier and enjoyable for kids and parents alike.
The update is available for both Android and iOS. Before this update, YouTube Kids could only be used in landscape orientation, introducing limitations in how a user can browse and search for content. Fortunately, the new update adds support for vertical orientation and also brings along new vibrant colors and updated icons, while keeping all the familiar features, like strong parental controls and kid-friendly content in place.
Here are the list of changes introduced with the latest update:
- Going vertical (and horizontal) makes it easier to search and browse through content your family loves while holding your device either horizontally OR vertically!
- Video categories at the top of your home screen have a new look, and allow you to easily discover content by topic, such as learning, gaming, music, and more.
- A New Navigation Bar at the bottom of the app lets you easily get to Home, Search, Your Stuff, and your Profile
- New ‘Your Stuff’ page makes it easier for you to find Watch it Again, Shared, & Downloaded content
Do note that these new changes will apply to YouTube Kids Android and iOS apps. Meaning, this experience won't affect the web or TV versions of the kid's video streaming platform. To get these new features, make sure to grab the latest version of the YouTube Kids app from the Google Play Store for Android and App Store for iOS devices.
