YouTube won’t recommend videos on the home screen that are age-restricted by the creators and contain inappropriate language. If you are planning to turn off restricted mode, YouTube has the option to simply turn off the restricted mode and enjoy all types of content without any limitations.
What is a Restricted Mode on YouTube?
Restricted mode helps to limit the explicit content on a user’s device when it’s turned on. This feature can be useful when you want your kids to watch YouTube content and don’t want them to see the unnecessary recommendation. Similarly, many institutions enable this feature within their network. As YouTube suggests the feature is not 100 % accurate and may display explicit content without caution. Nevertheless, if you are fine viewing mature and age-restricted content, you can turn off this feature.
