Apple is bringing age verification to Texas this week

Apple is introducing age verification in the App Store for users in Texas, starting June 4th. The new requirement, which comes after a federal appeals court ruling, will prompt users creating a new account to verify their age using a credit card or government ID. Existing users under 18 will need to join a Family Sharing group, where a parent or guardian must provide consent. Apple may also automatically verify users' age based on their account information and payment history.
