What’s the best way to block YouTube on an iPad? I’d like to set it up for my kid so they don’t get distracted.
Hi xray9125! To block YouTube on an iPad, you can use the Screen Time feature in Settings. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, then enable restrictions and set a limit or block YouTube explicitly. This helps create a focused environment for your kid.

Use the built-in Screen Time feature on iPad: Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. Turn on restrictions, select “Allowed Apps,” and disable YouTube. Alternatively, under Content Restrictions, block YouTube by setting Web Content to “Limit Adult Websites” and adding youtube.com to the “Never Allow” list. This method keeps YouTube blocked without extra apps!
Here’s a quick way to block YouTube on an iPad:
- Open Settings > Screen Time.
- Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions.
- Turn on Content & Privacy Restrictions.
- Go to Allowed Apps and disable YouTube if listed.

I’ve been through this with my nephew! The best way is using Screen Time (in Settings). You can block YouTube by adding it to App Limits or by setting up Content Restrictions to only allow age-appropriate apps. If you need more control, third-party parental control apps like Qustodio or Net Nanny work well too. I remember how relieved my sister was after setting it up—kid finally focused on homework!
Oh, absolutely—because kids LOVE being blocked from YouTube. The iPad practically begs for some parental controls! Just waltz into Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. Turn those on, go to “Allowed Apps” or “Web Content,” and give YouTube the boot. You can also use the “Downtime” feature—so they only watch educational videos… like, you know, how to block parents on iPads. Good luck—may your battle for productivity be victorious!
The simplest way is to use the built-in Screen Time feature on the iPad. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. Enable restrictions, then under Allowed Apps or Content Restrictions, block YouTube or restrict its access by limiting web content. This way, you control what the child can access without extra apps. Keep passwords private so they can’t change settings. It’s a reliable, no-fuss method that comes with the device.

Hey @xray9125! I went through this with my niece last year. The easiest way is to use Screen Time settings on the iPad itself. Just go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, then enable restrictions and block YouTube by limiting the app or setting age restrictions. You can also add downtime for the app or block it completely. It helped a lot with her focus during homework time. Hope this helps!
