If the site belongs to one of the 14 categories listed below, the product sends an anonymous notification to Kaspersky Security Network. No personal user data is transmitted.<\/p>\n<p>It is up to the parent to decide which content to block by tweaking the settings; however, anonymous statistics are collected for all 14 categories.<\/p>\n<p>The information in this report was collected from Windows PCs and laptops, as well as Android mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the web filtering categories in Kaspersky Safe Kids are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adult content<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol, tobacco, drugs<\/li>\n<li>Anonymizers<\/li>\n<li>Electronic commerce<\/li>\n<li>Gambling, lotteries, sweepstakes<\/li>\n<li>Internet communication<\/li>\n<li>Job search<\/li>\n<li>News media<\/li>\n<li>Profanity, obscenity<\/li>\n<li>Religions, religious associations<\/li>\n<li>Software, audio, video<\/li>\n<li>Video games<\/li>\n<li>Violence<\/li>\n<li>Weapons, explosives, pyrotechnics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Filtering search queries<\/h3>\n<p>Kids\u2019 interests show up most clearly in their search activity. Kaspersky Safe Kids can filter kids\u2019 searches in five engines (Bing, Google, Mail.ru, Yahoo!, Yandex), as well as on YouTube. Searches are filtered on six potentially dangerous topics: Adult content, Alcohol, Narcotics, Tobacco, Racism, and Profanity.<\/p>\n<p>This report presents statistics on search queries on the YouTube platform and Google\u2019s search engine. The data collected is for the period March\u2013April 2024. We took as 100% the total number of hits returned by the Top 1,000 search queries on YouTube and by the Top 500 on Google. The ranking is based on the frequency of queries regardless of the region. The popularity of a topic is the percentage of queries related to that topic.<\/p>\n<p>We divided the search queries into thematic categories and subcategories:<\/p>\n<h4>Google:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Movies, cartoons, TV shows<\/li>\n<li>Music<\/li>\n<li>Shops<\/li>\n<li>Other<\/li>\n<li>Education<\/li>\n<li>Sport<\/li>\n<li>Games<\/li>\n<li>Video streaming platform<\/li>\n<li>Communication\n<ul>\n<li>Social Nets<\/li>\n<li>Messengers<\/li>\n<li>Mail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Apps and tools\n<ul>\n<li>Translate<\/li>\n<li>AI<\/li>\n<li>Edit tool<\/li>\n<li>Docs<\/li>\n<li>Search engine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>YouTube:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Games<\/li>\n<li>Movies, cartoons, TV shows\n<ul>\n<li>Cartoons<\/li>\n<li>TV shows<\/li>\n<li>Movies<\/li>\n<li>Anime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Music<\/li>\n<li>Other\n<ul>\n<li>Toys<\/li>\n<li>TikTok<\/li>\n<li>News<\/li>\n<li>DIY<\/li>\n<li>Education blogger<\/li>\n<li>Education<\/li>\n<li>Gacha Life<\/li>\n<li>Adult<\/li>\n<li>Trend<\/li>\n<li>ASMR<\/li>\n<li>Meme<\/li>\n<li>Sport<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>YouTube bloggers and channels<\/li>\n<li>YouTube gaming influencer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Application control<\/h3>\n<p>Kaspersky Safe Kids allows parents to control and limit the time that their children spend using apps on their devices. This study uses anonymized data on how much time kids worldwide spend using apps on Android and Windows devices.<\/p>\n<p>We identified the Top 20 most popular apps. The total time spent in all these apps is taken as 100%. Thus, the share of each app in the rating reflects what percentage of the total time children spent on it.<\/p>\n<h2>Popular website categories<\/h2>\n<p>The sites that children visited most frequently over the past year vary slightly depending on the platform. For example, if using a computer or laptop, children visited sites in the Software, audio, video category far more often (55.49% on Windows versus 32.55% on Android). This category includes YouTube, Netflix, Spotify and other streaming services. This preference for Windows is not surprising, since children prefer to use apps on smartphones and tablets (we\u2019ll see the evidence shortly) rather than browser versions of websites.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30020957\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51360\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30020957\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1340\" height=\"2214\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are various social networks, messengers, forums and chats (the Internet communication category) that kids visit more often on mobile devices: 35.40% on Android versus 24.27% on Windows.<\/p>\n<p>More often on Android than Windows, kids visited sites in the Electronic commerce (7.80%) and Video games (6.82%) categories, and tried to access sites in the Adult content (5.27%) category more.<\/p>\n<p>On Windows, they were more likely to visit sites in the following categories: News media (5.28%), Religions, religious associations (1.68%), Weapons, explosives, pyrotechnics (1.41%) and Anonymizers (0.47%), which includes various VPNs and proxy services. Interestingly, the Religions and Anonymizers categories on Android account for precisely 0%.<\/p>\n<h2>Most used apps<\/h2>\n<h3>Android<\/h3>\n<p>As we noted earlier, YouTube accounts for the most time spent by kids on mobile devices (28.13% of the total time spent on the Top 20 apps). The YouTube Kids app makes up 2.47%, and YouTube Music just 0.59%.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021012\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51361\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021012\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1340\" height=\"2082\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The popularity rating of social networks among children looks as follows: in first place is the absolute favorite TikTok (14.71%), followed by Instagram (8.68%), then Snapchat (3.18%), Facebook (1.66%) and, in last place, Pinterest (0.86%).<\/p>\n<p>Top messengers: WhatsApp leads by a wide margin (14.58% of the Top 20). In second place is Telegram (1.19%), then Facebook Messenger (1.07%), Discord (0.92%) and Viber (0.61%).<\/p>\n<p>The most popular game on mobile devices is Roblox. Kids spent more time on it than any other Top 20 game (6.19%). Interestingly, Roblox\u2019s eternal rival, Minecraft, lags a long behind in third place (0.82%), behind Brawl Stars (3.06%). The last game in the top ranking is the battle royale Free Fire (0.60%).<\/p>\n<h3>Windows<\/h3>\n<p>Laptops and PCs are used differently than smartphones, so the app landscape on Windows is different to what we\u2019ve seen on Android.<\/p>\n<p>Kids spend time on these devices mostly using browsers. No fewer than five of them made it into in the Top 20. The leader is Google Chrome (36.41%), which topped the ranking of most popular apps on Windows. Next come Microsoft Edge (13.16%), Firefox (4.22%), Opera GX (2.26%), a gaming version of Opera, and Brave (1.14%), which is positioned as privacy-oriented.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021030\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51362\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021030\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1340\" height=\"1192\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Besides internet surfing, children use Windows to chat, study \u2013 and chat during study. 9.62% of kids\u2019 time on laptops is spent on Microsoft Office, 1.72% on Teams, 1.47% on Outlook, 1.35% on Zoom and 0.69% on Skype. Presumably, these apps are used specifically for study and communication during classes. For simple communication, kids go for WhatsApp (2.31%), Zalo (0.84%) and Telegram (0.48%).<\/p>\n<p>Another not-insignificant function of PCs and laptops is gaming. The most popular game on Windows remains Roblox (7.60%). We put the gamer-oriented Discord messenger (7.55%) and Steam Client Webhelper (2.53%) in the same category.<\/p>\n<h2>Google searches<\/h2>\n<p>We determined which sites and which apps kids spend the most time on. Now let\u2019s break down their interests. This involves analyzing the search query statistics.<\/p>\n<p>First, we\u2019ll look at what kids searched for on Google.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021042\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51363\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021042\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1340\" height=\"748\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The lion\u2019s share of search queries goes to the Apps and tools category (21.28%). Here we included queries related to a variety of AI assistants, document software, apps for photo and video editing, plus online translators. In second place are communication tools (19.39%) \u2013 a mix of messengers, social networks and email services. Third place among Google queries goes to the Video streaming platforms (17.87%) category, where the most popular queries are \u201cyoutube\u201d, \u201cnetflix\u201d, \u201ctwitch\u201d and \u201c123movies\u201d. Next are games (11.04%), with the most popular searches being \u201croblox\u201d, \u201cpoki\u201d and \u201ccrazy games\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, a frequent search topic was sports, accounting for 11.01% of Google-based queries. The top queries here were \u201cnba\u201d, \u201cpremier league\u201d and \u201creal madrid\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Education-related searches account for 8.57%. Popular queries on this topic include \u201cscratch\u201d, \u201cclassroom\u201d, \u201cduolingo\u201d and, out of the blue, \u201cclimate change progress\u201d. From this we can conclude that kids are interested in programming, foreign languages and environmental issues.<\/p>\n<h3>Apps and tools<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021052\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51364\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021052\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1340\" height=\"570\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at the Apps and tools category. More than half of all queries here are for online translators (64.99%), the most popular of which is Google Translate. We also note that kids quite often search for AI assistants (15.01%), and presumably use them as well. The most popular queries on this topic are \u201cchatgpt\u201d, \u201ccharacter ai\u201d and \u201cgemini\u201d. In the Edit tools (8.90%) category, kids most often searched for \u201ccanva\u201d and \u201ccapcut\u201d. When it came to document software (6.24%), they googled \u201cgoogle docs\u201d and \u201coffice 365\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>Communication<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021103\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51365\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021103\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1340\" height=\"838\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the Communication category we put queries related to the three main types of communication: Social Networks (47.79%), Messengers (33.25%) and Mail (18.96%). Most often, children searched for the social networks \u201cinstagram\u201d, \u201cfacebook\u201d, \u201cpinterest\u201d and \u201ctiktok\u201d, the messengers \u201cwhatsapp web\u201d, \u201cdiscord\u201d, \u201czoom\u201d and \u201ctelegram\u201d, and the email services \u201cgmail\u201d, \u201chotmail\u201d and \u201cyahoo mail\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>YouTube searches<\/h2>\n<p>YouTube is the site most visited by kids, the app they spend the most time on, and the most popular video platform. To dig deeper into kids\u2019 viewing interests, let\u2019s take a look at the Top 1,000 queries on the platform.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021115\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51366\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30021115\/kids-report-2023-2024-graph-sm-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1340\" height=\"1370\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>YouTube gaming influencer<\/h3>\n<p>The largest share of queries went to the YouTube gaming influencer (20.67%) category.

The official description reads: \u201cSubliminal is a real-time software raytraced horror\/puzzle game based on the concept of The Backrooms. Endless procedurally generated levels, bleeding edge lighting, hostile entities, liminal spaces, and a sense that something is not quite right\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The game that inspired Subliminal, The Backrooms, was quite popular with kids a while back. Many big-name Let\u2019s Players streamed it on their channels.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30004248\/kids-report-2023-2024-4.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51330\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2024\/05\/30004248\/kids-report-2023-2024-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1666\" height=\"802\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although Subliminal hasn\u2019t been officially released yet, interest in the game is heating up. The official website says: \u201cHey everyone, getting straight to the point, the release of SUBLIMINAL is being pushed back until later this year. We don\u2019t have a specific month in mind at this time, but we are aiming for late 2024 and hoping that the delay is more than enough time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We hazard a guess that when released it will take the gaming world by storm (like The Backrooms, Poppy Playtime and many others before it).<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>According to our observations, kids\u2019 interests have been fairly stable of late. Their favorite games are Roblox and Minecraft; their favorite music is phonk and K-pop; their favorite YouTubers are more or less the same. TikTok, Instagram and WhatsApp remain the most popular communication tools and social networks. YouTube and Netflix are the top platforms for watching videos, movies and TV series.<\/p>\n<p>The most dynamic trends are seen in memes and games, which can be super popular one day and forgotten the next, replaced by something even newer.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to be aware of kids\u2019 likes and interests, so as to better understand your child and build trusting relationships in the family. And don\u2019t be frightened by every new trend that comes along \u2013 on closer inspection it\u2019s probably quite harmless really.<\/p>\n<input type=\"hidden\" class=\"category_for_banner\" value=\"safe-kids\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What websites do kids visit the most, which apps do they spend the most time on, \u0430nd what aroused their greatest interest over the past year?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2706,"featured_media":51370,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-51326","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail"],"hreflang":[{"hreflang":"x-default","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/kids-report-2023-2024\/"}],"acf":[],"banners":"","is_landing":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/51326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51326"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/51326\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51373,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/51326\/revisions\/51373"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
