YouTube Kids has received a design overhaul and is no longer considered different from what adults use
Okay, saying it’s like YouTube for adults seems a bit much. But at least this update to the YouTube Kids exclusive app allows you to use the device in an upright grip that is more in line with the preferences of the new generation of users.
According to official information, a major update to the YouTube Kids App that is expected to be launched in the next few weeks will not only no longer be locked in landscape orientation. In response to more flexible usage, there are also changes to the layout. In addition, there are many different new features for children to explore.

This time the “New Look” includes a revamp of the pinned video category. Users can filter out the recommended items they want to browse based on sub-themes such as Show (drama) and Music (music). In addition, there will be a quick navigation bar at the bottom that can support quick searches and find items such as “Your stuff”.
Your Stuff includes a “Watch Again” feature that allows you to more quickly find videos that have been watched by the same account. “Shared content” and “downloaded content” are also organized in this project.

According to foreign media reports, YouTube Kids has not provided a major revision for a long time since 2017. This application, which has accompanied many children in their childhood, has evolved this time for both iOS and Android versions (but the web version and smart TV version have not changed yet). I don’t know if you think it’s good, or are you worried about whether children will get used to it?
