Watch groups with kids in them

When you invite someone to a watch group, you (or another manager of that group) can mark them as a kid. That shows a small “Kid” tag next to their name everywhere the group is displayed, so every adult in the group can see at a glance who they’re sharing recommendations, ratings, and chat with.

A child doesn’t set this flag themselves — it’s set by whoever manages the group, and only a manager can change it. Feature Night doesn’t independently verify anyone’s age; the flag reflects what the group’s manager has told us.

Being direct about current limits matters more here than anywhere else on the site:

• It does not filter or hide mature titles, ratings, or recommendations from a marked child.
• It does not restrict what a marked child can see or post in shared chat.
• It does not require separate parental consent beyond whoever set up the account for that child.

In short: the Kid tag today is a visibility label, not a content filter or an access control. If you’re adding a child to a watch group with adults recommending R-rated or mature TV content, assume they can see everything the rest of the group can see.

• Keep kid-inclusive watch groups separate from ones where adults share mature recommendations.
• Use the “Kid” tag as a signal to other adults in the group to keep what they post appropriate — not as a technical safeguard.
• A parent or guardian should be the one managing any account used by a child under 13.

Real content filtering by maturity rating, a dedicated kid mode, and parental approval on recommendations sent to a child are planned but not built yet. This page will be updated when they ship, and the Kid tag’s description above will be corrected to match.
