    Honestly this one kind of makes sense. Why have two separate apps when you could just put a lock on one of the apps?

      Yeah now that everyone’s used to multiple profiles in streaming apps, having a separate kid-friendly version is kinda redundant

        Can you actually put a pin on an adult account in the TV app though? They got shot of the kids app on TV, so now the kids use the main app, but their isn’t away to stop them from just going into an adult profile.

          I don’t know, maybe, check up on what your kids are watching from time to time? We survived the 90s just fine this way. Now we expect technology to supervise and raise them…

            Haha, yeah, I do actually keep an eye on what they are watching, they just get up early and bang out a sneaky TV session. I trust them to select the right profile, and they always do, it’s just a feature I would have thought that Google would have added. You look at all the other apps, netflix/Disney and they all do it.

      It worked for our family. The kids can use YT kids to have access to their videos and I can use the YT app to have access to mine without having to worry about switching profiles. Switching profiles is a little bit above the level of understanding for a 6 year old. If it prompts you to select a profile every time you launch the YT app i guess its probably not a problem.
