Kiddos TV — Helpful answers.

The app starts with four channels, and parents can replace any of them for free from the curated catalog. The four-channel allowance covers all languages together. TV Premium or eligible Kiddos+ lets you add more channels and use advanced Kiddos parent controls.

Parents can choose or block channels, shape the episode lineup, set viewing limits, bedtime and breaks, and review on-device viewing history. Available controls depend on the plan shown in the app. Curated content supports your choices; it does not replace your judgment about what suits your child.

Embedded videos are supplied by YouTube, which may show contextual ads and process technical playback information. Kiddos does not sell or control those ads. Premium and Kiddos+ do not remove YouTube provider advertising.

No. Streaming YouTube videos requires an internet connection. A visible catalog or saved lineup does not mean the videos have been downloaded.

Kiddos TV includes catalog discovery in English, French, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese. Individual channels, videos and regional availability vary.

Check your connection and the device’s Screen Time or web-content restrictions. A video can also be removed or restricted by its provider. Ask a grown-up to review the specific restriction rather than turning off all family protections. Contact Kiddos with the app version and video title if you need help.

Kiddos+ is currently offered in the United States. New purchase availability depends on the Apple storefront, available products and successful iCloud setup. Individual app availability and standalone plans can differ. The in-app purchase screen shows the options available to you.

Connect to the internet and open the app originally used to subscribe. In its grown-up settings, use Restore Purchases with the Apple Account that made the purchase. Check iCloud is enabled for the account being used, then open the other participating Kiddos apps. Cross-app membership recognition and Apple Family Sharing are different: do not assume that a different family member’s Apple Account is eligible. Check the subscription’s current Apple sharing settings or contact us before buying again.

Use the subscription controls in the original purchasing app or your device’s Apple subscription settings. Apple shows the current price, renewal date, cancellation and any eligible sharing options. Removing an app does not cancel an Apple-billed subscription.

No. An app-provided book selection or learning, listening or play allowance is separate from an Apple subscription trial. The app explains its current sample. If an Apple trial is offered, eligibility, duration, price and automatic-renewal terms are shown before the grown-up confirms the purchase.

Use the app name so Siri knows which video app you mean. Begin with Search if you want to choose together.

This is an update preview. Some described features may not be in your installed App Store version yet. Check the app’s release notes when an update becomes available.

The examples use English. Features can depend on device, system version, language and region. Some natural-language requests need a supported on-device model; simple named actions are a separate feature. Apple’s Siri service has its own processing rules, even when an app’s own helper runs on device. These native features do not run on this website.
