Apple rolls out age checks for UK users
Apple began rolling out age verification requirements for UK users as part of a software update Wednesday, as the government increases pressure on tech giants to better protect children online.
UK iPhone and iPad users will now have to confirm their age using an official ID, a credit card or existing Apple account — or face restrictions on certain content and features.
“Adults will have to confirm that they’re 18 or older to use certain services or features, or take certain actions on their account,” Apple said in a post on its website.
