Question

How do I bypass age restrictions on the YouTube app or third party YouTube apps?

Community Answer

You can only use these methods in a browser, so you can't do it without leaving the app.

Question

How do I bypass age restrictions on YouTube videos if there is no URL on mobile?

Community Answer

Usually there is a "copy URL" or "Share" option in the mobile apps without URL. Copy it and do the steps above on a phone browser.

Question

Will this work on mobile?

Community Answer

Most of the methods listed in this article work best on a desktop computer or with the browser version of YouTube. Unfortunately, many of the third-party YouTube clients that used to work for bypassing age restrictions, like the NewPipe app for Android devices, no longer reliably work for this purpose.

Question

Can a kid get in trouble for bypassing age restrictions on YouTube?

Community Answer

If you're talking about getting in trouble from YouTube, no, there's no way they'd ever find out. If you're talking about from your parents, yes, they might be upset and they might punish you.

Question

Why can't I watch age-restricted videos on YouTube without signing in?

Community Answer

Because part of establishing an account is entering your date of birth; without signing in, YouTube has no way of knowing your age.

Question

I'm signed in on an "18+" account, but some content is not viewable. I tried mobile apps and website versions (I am on iOS). How can I watch a restricted video?

It might possibly be because your account is managed by the company you work for. Some students have videos restricted because their school blocks them.
