Sharing a post from the iOS sub: Just updated to 26.4. Was prompted to validate age after update restart. If you don’t you can’t override some content restrictions. It tries to use your Apple Wallet to validate your age. I only have a debit card, not a credit, which apparently is unacceptable. You can enter card manually if not in your wallet but no good for me as it only accepts credit cards. Last resort is to use driving license or national ID, assume a passport will do. Took over 10 attempts to get my driving license scanned. Can’t have any shadows on image and must be photographed against a dark background. Even when I thought I had good picture, there is then a wait for verification, which failed three times for me. Eventually, if you get the right combination of conditions, my age was verified. What a carry on. Not very Apple. This is going to be a pain for many. EDIT1 : UK Passports can’t be used EDIT2 : Apple seems to use three verification solutions, 1) exiting Apple ID with previous credit card-existing credit card transactions. I don’t think Apple ID age alone is being used (that failed for me). 2) manually enter credit card, I assume details need to match Apple account details (need someone to validate), 3) driving license. If you only recently created an Apple ID, don’t have a credit card and don’t drive I can’t see how you can validate your age. Does anyone know of other options? EDIT 3 : UK Citizen card may work as ID. Also, some say applying for PayPal credit card online and adding to wallet will validate quickly. EDIT 4 : we have a report of someone successfully using a passport but took the person 10 attempts. Good lighting and photographed against dark background seem essential. EDIT 5 : We think for automatic initial validation to work either 1) the Apple ID is older than 18 years or 2) The Apple ID has a history of credit card transactions.   submitted by   /u/krazygreekguy [link]   [comments]
