There could also be many reasons someone wants to block YouTube on their iPad. You might be in a digital detox age and trying to keep yourself from being tempted by YouTube Shorts. Maybe your child is passionate about watching videos on YouTube, and you want to ban this for a long time.
For your child to watch only children-friendly videos, you could use the YouTube Kids app. However, if your child can reason, you can limit its access to YouTube or even block it altogether. It is inconvenient when your child or employee always watches funny videos on YouTube, and you cannot influence it in any way – at least, you thought so until now.
How to Block YouTube App on iPad
