kid mode

Restricted content configuration

Kid mode is a setting on devices, apps, or streaming services that restricts content to material appropriate for children.

It typically filters out violence, adult themes, and mature language while limiting access to certain features: Put the tablet in kid mode before handing it to your nephew.

The term extends to any simplified or sanitized version of something: The documentary was basically kid mode—it skipped all the controversial parts.
