How to prevent a child from deleting apps on Apple TV?

Is there a way to restrict deleting apps or modifying the home screen on an Apple TV 4k?

I'd like to allow my cognitively impaired child to watch his movies, but prevent deletion or other changes.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15

Youtube and my unlisted videos on Apple TV I used to be able to watch my unlisted videos on youtube via Apple TV, but apparently, they just disappear. I still got them using my iphone, tablet or Mac, but as I said, they are not reachable using Apple TV (4th Gen). Only if I turned them "public", I can watch them. It was a fantastic way to store family videos that I don´t want to share with the entire world, just with my relatives and friends.... Any help?

Apple Screen Time app limits not working I’ve used screen time for my kids to limit time on certain apps. It worked well for years, but now I will set the limits and then they will suddenly disappear after a day or even less. Other settings also get erased including downtime and content restrictions. I have changed the passcode and the kids swear they have not tried to change any settings. This issue started about two months ago. I have updated iOS on all the devices. I have turned screen time off and set up settings again. I have tried setting the limits from my device as well as the individual devices. My kids will spend too much time on their phones without limitations in place and creates repeated bouts of anger for my wife. Please help! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Hi there Ted,

We were able to find a list of what you can restrict on an Apple TV: Restrict access to content on Apple TV

As we don't see an option describing what you're looking for, we suggest submitting Product Feedback to Apple.

Cheers!
