What to know before you start
Provider filters are imperfect. Restricted Mode is not a channel block or an age guarantee. Network enforcement only covers routed traffic.
Check device support →Does Restricted Mode block all YouTube Shorts?
No. Shorts blocking is a separate Android supervision feature; Restricted Mode does not provide a reliable all-Shorts switch.
Works better together.
All features →Website and content filtering
Set category rules and website exceptions that fit your child rather than relying on a single blanket block.
