iPad YouTube Controls
YouTube parental controls for iPad when the tablet is the family video device
iPads are often the device kids use for longer YouTube sessions. Kivvie keeps that experience narrower: only approved channels, no Shorts, no comments, and no recommendation feed.

The iPad problem: bigger screen, longer drift
A tablet is easy to hand over for learning videos, music practice, sports clips, or quiet time. It is also easy for one useful video to become a long recommendation chain.
Screen Time can set time boundaries, but it does not decide which channels deserve a place in your child's library.
Kivvie turns the iPad into a known YouTube library instead of a discovery engine.
How Kivvie fits into an iPad setup
Approved channels only
Build a small list of educational, creative, or hobby channels and keep everything else invisible.
Better for shared tablets
Separate child profiles let different kids use the same family iPad with different channel lists.
No scroll traps
There is no Shorts feed, comments section, or recommendation sidebar in the child experience.
A practical iPad setup
- 1
Create a profile for each child
Separate profiles make the approved list age-appropriate without needing separate devices.
- 2
Approve channels by purpose
Start with a few learning, movement, music, or hobby channels that match why you allow YouTube.
- 3
Use Screen Time for sessions
Let Screen Time manage device time while Kivvie keeps the viewing surface curated.
