[br] [br][br][br]YouTube Kids is a dedicated app from the video network that aims to provide a child friendly experience.[br][br]Unfortunately, those algorithms charged with policing content have occasionally failed, with Google now launching a more heavily curated section of the app that only displays human-approved videos.[br][br]Launched three years ago, YouTube Kids this week is adding video collections from "trusted partners" and the YouTube Kids team.[br][br]For those parents who want even more control over the videos and channels in the YouTube Kids app, we're rolling out a feature later this year that will allow parents to specifically handpick every video and channel available to their child in the app.[br][br]The old, existing version will still be available, with YouTube promising "to fine-tune, rigorously test and improve our filters for this more open version of our app."
