YouTube Kids is officially breaching beyond its platform as it will be rolling out on game consoles and Roku as well. Google will be delivering the app to more smart TVs as an update through the main YouTube app. When switching to the YouTube Kids profile, there will be access to a more children-friendly experience without having to download an entirely separate app.
This makes it easy to interchange between contents for users as well. Google notes that this will be rolling out within the next few weeks and the kids' profiles can be deleted when they are ready for more access. It is available for LG and Samsung Smart TVs, Android TV, Fire TV, and Apple TV.
