Apple Rolls Out Age Verification Requirements for UK Users

Apple Inc. has rolled out age verification requirements for users in the UK that will ask customers to confirm that they’re at least 18 years old to access certain features.

Apple will confirm user ages with credit cards or payment methods on file or by asking users to scan an ID, it said in a post on its support page. Content filters will be turned on automatically for underage users or anyone who hasn’t confirmed their age, it said. Children under 13 can’t create an account without a guardian.
