The majority (50%+) of children in each age bracket have access to the internet, with this figure reaching over 9 in 10 amongst 15 to 16-year-olds.
The majority (77%) of parents who allowed their children to access the internet imposed time restrictions on access. Across the 5 most popular paid viewing services (Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, Apple TV+, and Paramount), it is more common for children to have a profile with age restrictions than a profile without age restrictions, or to access the service without their own profile.
TVs and smartphones are the most favoured devices for kids to watch video content on, with the former preferred by younger children, and the latter preferred by those who are older.
| While ownership of smartphones is low amongst the youngest in the sample, a sizable proportion (1 in 3 kids aged 3 to 6 years old) are given access to these devices owned by friends, family, or others.
