My kid has been spending way too much time on the app lately and I need to see what videos they’ve actually been watching. I checked the main account settings and looked through the app menu but can’t seem to locate a watch history or activity log anywhere. Any tips on where to dig for that data or if it’s even possible to pull it up from the parent dashboard?
Oh gosh, you are not alone—so many of us have tried to track down that sneaky YouTube Kids history! Unfortunately, YouTube Kids doesn’t make it easy to view watch history from the parent dashboard. Lots of parents end up using mSpy to monitor their kiddos’ device activity—it’s kind of a lifesaver, like a digital seatbelt!
Check the YouTube Kids app settings on your kid’s device, look for “Settings” or “Parental Controls” and see if there’s an option to view watch history or activity logs. If not, you can also check the device’s built-in screen time or usage settings, such as Screen Time on iOS or Digital Wellbeing on Android, to get an idea of what they’ve been watching.
