Hi @Ger2304 Excuse my ignorance, but what is the popular creator selection?

Same here. Never heard of it. Please explain, and the relevance to Sky Q.

Hi @Ger2304

Afraid you cannot remove any Apps.

There are pin settings in Parental for some Apps buy unfortunately Popular creator is not listed

@Daniel0210 @MightyQuinn

From memory it's one of the PlayWorks 'apps', but is effectively just a shortcut to a curated collection of (really annoying but undoubtedly popular) YouTube channels.

No wonder I've never heard of it.

I knew I'd seen it somewhere:

https://play.works/tv-channels#stars

And yes, I've absolutely no idea who any of those are either. Apparently it's what people watch now television is dead.

Is there a PIN option for the wider PlayWorks selection?

Hi All, Many thanks for all the comments and suggestions given so far.

Under further investigation The popular creator section is found under the "apps" option and you will see it when you scroll down the page towards the bottom.

This feature shows videos from popular online content creators, as such i felt it was not appropriate materail for my young kids to be viewing.

Having looked in the section that allows you to set pin locks on various apps i was origioanlly not able to find this "Popular creators" in order to block it, but upon furter searching I have found that the content is uploaded through the app "play works" and this is listed in the apps section Theregore I have now managed to put a pin block in place.
