SafeSearch on your phone, is accessible on your mobile device by using the browser to access the Google homepage
YouTube Community Guidelines describe the type of content that is and isn’t allowed on the site. However, there may be cases when you’d prefer to screen out content even though it meets our guidelines. Opting in to Safety Mode means that videos with mature content or that have been age-restricted will not show up in video search, related videos, playlists, shows or films.
