Apple introduces the Declared Age Range API in iOS 26 to allow developers to create age-appropriate experiences with privacy in mind.
Key updates in 2025 include the release of a white paper on child safety, streamlined child setup flow, and expanded App Store age ratings.
The Declared Age Range API emphasizes privacy-first age detection, flexible age range configuration, and user-controlled sharing settings.
Developers can implement the API by adding the capability, setting up the environment, and following best practices for error handling and privacy protection mechanisms.
