Manage WhitelistVideo from Telegram or WhatsApp

Control your children's YouTube access right from a chat — approve requests, add channels, change safety settings, and more. No need to open the app.

Time to set up: About 2 minutes

What can I do from the messaging bot?

• Approve or deny requests with one tap when your child asks for a new channel
• Add or remove channels — just type the channel name, like texting a friend
• Create, edit, or delete child profiles — add a new child, update their age, or remove a profile
• Manage devices — rename, deactivate, or remove connected devices
• Add child slots — purchase extra slots or reduce unused ones from the chat
• Manage playlists, categories, and blacklists without opening the dashboard
• Change safety settings — block Shorts, hide comments, adjust safety levels
• Undo mistakes — every action has a 30-second undo button
• Set rules the bot remembers — say "no gaming channels for my son" and the bot applies it automatically

The bot understands everyday language in 7 languages — English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Chinese, and Japanese.

Which platforms are supported?

Both platforms have the same features — same bot, same actions, same notifications. Choose whichever you use more, or connect both.

What's different between Telegram and WhatsApp?

Can I use both Telegram and WhatsApp?

Yes! You can connect both at the same time:

• Notifications arrive on both platforms
• Conversations are independent — manage channels on WhatsApp while checking requests on Telegram
• Connect each one separately from Settings

About the link code

• 6 characters — letters and numbers (no confusing characters like O/0 or I/1)
• Expires after 10 minutes — generate a new one from Settings if needed
• One-time use — each code works once

How does the bot understand me?

The bot uses AI to understand everyday language. You don't need to memorize any commands — just type what you want, like you'd message a friend.

Examples:

• "Add Cocomelon for my daughter"
• "Block gaming channels for Alex"
• "What has my son been watching?"

Smart behavior:

• If you have one child, the bot knows who you mean automatically
• With multiple children, it only asks when it can't tell
• If something conflicts with a rule you set earlier, the bot will flag it

Can I manage my subscription from the bot?

Yes — ask things like:

• "What plan am I on?"
• "I want to upgrade to Premium"
• "Update my payment method"

The bot will send you a secure link to complete any billing changes.

What can't the bot do?

For these, you'll need to use the Parent Dashboard (opens in a new tab):

• View detailed watch history
• Change your account password
• Manage account settings (email, profile)
• Export data

Is the messaging bot safe?

Yes. WhitelistVideo follows strict privacy guidelines:

• No child full names are sent through messaging platforms — only first names
• No viewing history is transmitted through Telegram or WhatsApp
• Every message is verified to make sure it's really from you
• Link codes are randomly generated, single-use, and expire after 10 minutes
• All conversation data is encrypted
