As well as already being available on a number of Blu-ray players, streaming media players, and Smart TVs. This expansion to iOS and Android tablets signifies Netflix’s commitment to making their child-friendly content accessible across a wide range of devices, ensuring that children can enjoy their favorite shows and movies no matter what technology their family uses.
Features and Benefits

It features popular children’s characters and genres, making it simple for kids to find content they love. The section includes a variety of educational and entertaining shows, ensuring that children have access to quality content that is both fun and enriching. Parents can have peace of mind knowing that the content is age-appropriate and safe for their children to watch.
Netflix’s “Just for Kids” feature also includes parental controls, allowing parents to set restrictions on what their children can watch. This ensures that children are not exposed to content that is not suitable for their age group. Additionally, the feature includes a variety of genres, from animated series and movies to educational programs, catering to a wide range of interests and preferences.
The introduction of “Just for Kids” on tablets is particularly significant as tablets are increasingly becoming a popular device for children. According to a study by Common Sense Media, 42% of children aged 8 and under have their own tablet device. By making “Just for Kids” available on these devices, Netflix is tapping into a growing market and providing a valuable service for families.
