It is true that YouTube can be blocked using restrictions section on iPhone settings. But pls note that YouTube can still be accessed using safari icon. Hence there has to be a more smarter way of blocking YouTube on the iphone

Good point, I freaked out when I turned on restrictions, and suddenly my iPhone screens were missing icons, and generally were arranged differently.

I can’t think of any non-jailbreak way to do it. If you put your device in Airplane Mode, and then go to YouTube, it brings you to your settings in one click.

These restrictions are a pain to turn on and off, kind of a hassle if there are features you want on, but have to turn off every time you give the device to your kid (and back on when you take it back).

I’m biased towards BubCap home button covers, so you can lock toddlers in whatever app you want. Well, as long as the app doesn’t have a link that takes you out.

This is a well known way…But when you apply this the icon gets removed completely! So is there any other way so that i can limit the youtube access without removing the icon from the menu?
