How to Block YouTube from iPad?

[Alice]

I’m looking for a way to block YouTube from an iPad to make it safer for my child. Is it possible to completely restrict the YouTube app and website using Screen Time settings? Can this be done without deleting the app permanently? I’d appreciate simple step-by-step guidance on how parents can block or limit YouTube access effectively on an iPad.

You can block YouTube on an iPad using Screen Time:

1. Open Settings → Screen Time
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions and turn it On
3. Tap Allowed Apps or Content Restrictions → Web Content
4. Block YouTube by disabling the app or limiting access to only approved websites

To block YouTube on an iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time, turn it on, and set an App Limit for YouTube under Entertainment (you can set it to 1 minute to effectively block it). To fully block it, go to Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps and turn off YouTube, or delete the app and prevent reinstallation under App Store restrictions. You can also set a Screen Time passcode to stop changes.
