HOW TO TURN OFF AGE RESTRICTION ON YOUTUBE

Nowadays, Google's YouTube has become an inseparable part of our lives. Although, age restriction on YouTube is an obstacle if someone is trying to access specific videos which are considered adult in nature. YouTube has given us an option which is known as “Safety Mode,” and it is a part of the YouTube age restriction guidelines. It keeps underage viewers from watching Not safe for work (NSFW) YouTube videos. However, there are several ways to disable Safety Mode on Not safe for work (NSFW) YouTube video.

At first, you need to log into the account in which you want to turn off restricted mode.

The Restricted Mode on YouTube is very helpful if you don't want to see unwanted videos in your account.

If you are looking to turn off Restricted Mode on YouTube, you can do so relatively quickly and easily using a personal computer or phone.

Restricted Mode helps users to filter out "potentially mature content" on YouTube using different things like titles, descriptions, metadata, and age restrictions.

It can also able to block the comments on all videos, even the ones you're able to watch.

If you want to turn off restricted mode, then you can do it very easily. It will only take you about a minute or less if you're signed in to the YouTube account using your personal computer or phone.

It is because some administrators, like colleges and universities or maybe other govt departments, may have enabled restricted mode. In these types of cases, only that administrator who has turned it on can only turn it off.
