On March 24th, Apple introduced age verification requirements for UK users. Customers must confirm that they are at least 18 years old in order to use certain specific features. Apple stated that they will verify users' age by checking the credit card or payment information on file, or by requiring users to scan their identification documents. The company also noted that content filtering will be automatically enabled for underage users or any users who have not completed the age verification process. Additionally, children under the age of 13 will not be able to create an account without parental assistance.
