Apple begins requiring age verification for App Store use in Texas
Engadget · 1 min read · top_stories
Apple is implementing age verification for App Store use in Texas starting tomorrow, required by state law SB 2420. New Texas accounts must verify age; parents or guardians must consent for minors to download apps, receive significant updates, or make in-app purchases. Developers must support parental consent revocation. The law was signed in May 2025 but faced legal challenges that delayed its January effective date.
