Safari Opening Youtube Kids

I keep my data off for YouTube so when I’m not on wifi I use safari to open youtube however, recently when I type the youtube link, it takes me to youtube kids and says “Sorry, you can't access YouTube for Mobile Web with your account”. How do I fix this?

Hello dvhsan,


Since you're attempting to access it using the web, have you tried clearing your browsing history and website data to see if that will permit the correct site to populate when entered? If not, give that a try and see if it helps.


Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Let us know if this helps.


Best regards.

Hello dvhsan,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand you need help with Safari and opening YouTube. We want to clarify what the exact issue is to better help determine a resolution.


  1. Do you only use YouTube with Safari on your iPhone and no the YouTube app?
  2. Do you have Google account to sign in with YouTube?
  3. While you have your cellular data turned off for YouTube, to access it, are you connected to Wi-Fi or another network source?
  4. Are you trying to access YouTube or YouTube Kids?
  5. Is this a managed device like for a school or business?
  6. Do you use a VPN or VPN app?


We look forward to hearing back from you. We'll use that information to help narrow down what might be going on.


Take care.
