"Adults will have to confirm that they're 18 or older to use certain services or features, or take certain actions on their account. You can confirm your age with a credit card or by scanning an ID."
"Ofcom welcomed the move, calling it a real win for children and families, and part of a wider drive to keep young people away from harmful content."
"Some users complained that it raised concerns about the privacy of the information that is uploaded to prove age, with one stating they want a choice to skip or cancel age verification."
Apple has implemented a new age verification requirement for iPhone users in the UK, necessitating confirmation of being 18 or older to access specific services. This includes options like showing a credit card or scanning an ID. The change, part of a broader initiative to protect children online, has received support from Ofcom, although some users express concerns about privacy and the ability to bypass these checks. Apple has not specified which services will require age confirmation.
