Share your age range with apps
Age Range for Apps shares helpful information with apps, so they can provide an age-appropriate experience for you or your children.
What is Age Range for Apps?
An app may ask for permission to access the age range on your Apple Account. If you decide to share your age range, the app may use that information to provide content and features that are appropriate for that age range.
Sharing an age range is your choice, and sharing your age range keeps your actual age and birthday private. You can also allow your child or teen to share their age range and decide if the information is always shared, requested each time or never shared.
To share an Age Range with apps, update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, or update to the latest version of macOS.
