This How.com.vn guide teaches you how to remove videos from your YouTube recommendations and turn on restricted mode on Android. Currently, YouTube does not have the option to block videos in a way that prevents you from ever seeing them again. However, you can remove videos from your recommendations, and turning on Restricted Mode will filter videos that have explicit content. You can block videos on the YouTube Kids app.
Can you block a YouTube channel or video?
- There's no way to block videos completely on YouTube.
- You can remove videos from recommendations by tapping the three vertical dots and selecting Not interested.
- Turn on Restricted Mode to block mature content.
Steps
Tap the Home tab in the YouTube app. It's in the lower-left corner of the YouTube app. This displays your recommendations.
Find a video that you want to remove. Scroll up and down on your home feed to see your recommended videos.Advertisement
Tap ⋮ next to the video title. The icon with three dots appears to the right of video titles in your feed. Tapping this displays a pop-up menu next to the video.
Tap Not Interested or Stop seeing this ad. If it is a recommended video, tap Not interested to stop seeing it in your recommendations. If the video is an advertisement, tap Stop seeing this ad to remove the ad. You can still search for the video and view it on the user's channel, but this will remove it from your recommendations feed.- If you do this with enough videos from a user or channel, YouTube's algorithm will stop recommending videos from that user or channel.
- Alternatively, you can tap Unsubscribe if the recommendation is from a channel you subscribe to.
Tap your profile icon. It's in the upper-right corner of the YouTube app. This displays the Account menu.
Tap Settings.
Tap General. It's the second option from the top of the Settings menu. This displays the General settings menu.- If you don't see this option, skip to the next step.
Toggle on Restricted Mode {{android|switchon}. If the toggle switch to the right is blue, Restricted Mode is on. This will block most videos containing mature content.
Open the YouTube Kids app. It's the app that has an icon that resembles the YouTube logo drawn with crayons. Tap the icon on your home screen or apps menu to open YouTube Kids.- The first time you open the YouTube Kids app, it asks if you are a kid or a parent. Select Parent and enter your birthday. Then you have the option to create a custom profile for your kids.
- You can download the YouTube Kids app from the Google Play Store on Android devices.
Tap the profile you want to manage. YouTube Kids allows you to create custom profiles for each kid. Tap the profile you want to block videos on.
Tap ⋮ next to a video title. The icon with three dots appears to the right of the video title on the YouTube Kids app. There are several ways to find videos on YouTube kids. These icons at the top include "Recommended", "Explore", "Shows", "Music", and "Learning". You can also tap the magnifying glass and search for a video by name.
Tap Block this video. This option appears when you tap the icon with three dots next to a video. This blocks the video from the YouTube Kids app.
