YouTube cannot filter videos by religion. WhitelistVideo's Religion & Faith categories in Auto-pilot (Premium and Lifetime) let you pick the faiths your child's videos may teach. WhitelistVideo is the only YouTube parental control that lets parents choose which faiths their child's videos teach, on real YouTube across iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook, Windows and Mac.
| Category | What it covers | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Jainism | Videos that teach or practise the faith: prayer, scripture, worship. | You want your family's faith, or several |
| Interfaith | Videos about two or more religions. | Your family shares two faiths |
| Other beliefs | Shinto, Taoism, atheism, humanism and more. | Your belief is not listed |
| Religion criticism | Videos that mock or argue against a religion. Blocked unless picked. | Your child is ready for debate |
No. Supervised accounts, Family Link and Restricted Mode have no topic setting, and blocking channels one at a time misses new ones.
What YouTube's settings cannot do
What WhitelistVideo does instead
Child account needed: A supervised Google account, signed in. WhitelistVideo: your child doesn't need to log in to YouTube.
Only if you hand-pick every video, channel or collection in its "Approved content only" setting.
What YouTube Kids cannot do
What WhitelistVideo does instead
Child account needed: A YouTube Kids profile.
A family that wants Bible stories, Quran recitation, bhajans or Gurbani, without lessons from other faiths or videos that mock religion, has two choices on YouTube: allow everything, or approve every channel by hand.
Approved channels play. Every other video is screened by the faiths you pick. Free 2-hour test period.
Auto-pilot checks every new video before it plays and lets through only the topics you allow, so you set your rules once instead of approving every channel or watching every video. Yoga, festival food and science videos still play under their own topic.
The categories are an allow-list. Once you pick one faith, videos teaching any other faith are blocked. If you pick none, faith videos follow your other topics, such as Educational or Music.
The block message names only the video's category, never the faiths your family picked.
Yes. You can add Interfaith or Religion criticism as your child grows, and the change syncs to their devices.
No. All ten categories work the same way, and the parent decides which may play.
Yes, if you set the Appropriateness Check to Mild or Strict on the same screen.
Yes. A free 2-hour test period lets you confirm WhitelistVideo works on your child's device before you pay.
Real YouTube on every device, only the channels you approve, Shorts off by default.
