YouTube Kids Mobile App is getting a redesign This both makes it look and behave like the standard YouTube app and lets kids browse videos in portrait mode for the first time. It will roll out on iOS and Android in the next few weeks, while the web and smart TV experiences will remain the same.
At the top, you'll see a redesigned carousel for the familiar content filters. They're clearly labeled by topic, whether you're looking for gaming, shows, music, or the educationally inclined “Explore” tab. Those buttons will take up less horizontal space.
Some other shortcuts that used to live at the top – like Home, Search, and Profile – will be moved to a new navigation bar at the bottom. A new “Your Stuff” page will also live in that bar and serve as a dedicated portal to find content you've downloaded, shared, or previously viewed. Parental controls and other settings will remain in dedicated views, with shortcuts for them always accessible in the upper right corner next to the Cast button.
