A supported hide-group or category-visibility setting can reduce clutter without changing the service account. Keep track of what you hide so later searches are easier to interpret. Hidden categories may remain available through another view, depending on the player.
Choose visibility rather than deletion
Hiding is usually a local display preference, whereas removing a source account is a broader action. Read the app’s wording carefully. If a category includes content unsuitable for a child, visibility alone may not provide the protection that a parental lock offers.
Keep a route back
Before hiding many groups, locate the setting that restores them. A refresh may preserve local visibility choices, which can surprise you when newly added entries appear in a hidden group. Use a small number of deliberate changes so the layout remains understandable.
Troubleshoot with filters cleared
When a channel appears to be missing, temporarily return to the full list and disable favourites-only views. Search there before contacting support. If the source entry is present, you have identified a local organisation issue rather than a subscription-access problem. Make the distinction clear to other household members so a tidy menu is not mistaken for an access restriction.
