Features, settings & updates

Is there anyway the people at Roku can make it possible to block the search bar completely? Many parents of younger kids would like to be able to turn off searching so our little aren’t able to look up inappropriate content, even if you don’t have the app it will still allow too see it. For instance it will bring up YouTube videos even though we do not have the YouTube app. Makes it really hard to keep our kids safe from see things they shouldn’t.

This is exactly what is needed for kids when Parental controls are on a device. Without it you can't keep your kids safe they can find inappropriate things and trailers.
