Apple has announced new child safety features, including an enhanced system for parents to share their children’s age ranges with apps and improvements to App Store age ratings. This initiative aims to give parents more control without compromising user privacy. Notably, Apple argues that stringent age verification at the app marketplace level could expose sensitive personal information. Instead, it plans a more privacy-conscious approach, while also expanding age categories from four to five to better inform users and guardians about app content appropriateness. This change reflects ongoing discussions around user safety and data privacy.
Apple emphasizes that age verification at the app marketplace level would compromise user privacy, stating it's not in the interest of safety or privacy.
The upcoming features include allowing parents to share their children's age ranges with app developers, enhancing transparency while preserving privacy.
The expanded App Store ratings will now include five age categories, aimed at better guiding parents and users about content appropriateness.
Apple's new age-sharing feature is designed to be a minimally invasive tool, protecting children's privacy while providing developers with necessary information.
