Child account

Why use child accounts

With a child account, you can control what content is available to your child in the Yandex app and protect them from the things you don't want them to see.

In the child account:

• Yandex services offer age-appropriate content. Set age restrictions in the Family account.

• The search results will exclude adult content completely (even if the query is explicitly aimed at finding such resources), as well as sites containing obscene language.

• To prevent your child from logging out of their account, logging out requires a code from an SMS that's sent to the parent's phone.

• Yandex Music hides songs with explicit lyrics.

• Family filtering mode is enabled and can't be disabled.

• Incognito mode can't be enabled.

2. In the menu that opens, tap Create a child's account.
3. Enter the child's name and date of birth. Tap Next.
4. Create a login and password for the child account. Tap Next.
5. Enter the code from the SMS that will be sent to the phone linked to your account.
6. Check the account details, select an age limit, and connect a family payment card if necessary. You can also do that after creating the account.

Move to another family group

You can move a child account from another family group to your own. This action must be confirmed from the child account and using the code from the SMS. The code is sent to the phone number of the user who created the child account.

1. Go to the Family tab.

2. Under Family group, tap Invite family member.

3. Choose how you want to send the invitation.

   • Share a link. A link will be copied to the clipboard. Send it to the child. Log in to the child account, follow the link received, and accept the invitation.
   • Send an SMS or email. Enter the email address that's linked to the child account. An invitation to the family group will be sent there. Accept it.

4. An SMS with a confirmation code will be sent to the phone number of the user who created the child account. To accept the invitation to the other family group, enter the code from the SMS.
