- YouTube Kids is gradually rolling out support for vertical use on Android and iOS.
- The update completely overhauls the mobile app with cleaner icons and a modern user interface.
- The app now offers a new navigation bar at the bottom and video category shortcuts towards the top.
For years, YouTube Kids was restricted to landscape use, even when holding your iOS or Android phone in portrait orientation. While YouTube videos are typically consumed horizontally, the limitation made it hard for some users to browse the mobile app and search for content. Fortunately, this is no longer the case, as YouTube Kids now offers a vertical user interface.
