Apple adds selfie-based age verification to iOS 27.2
iOS 27.2 introduces a new age-verification option that lets users confirm they are an adult by taking a selfie, which an on-device and Private Cloud Compute age-estimation model evaluates. Apple says the feature supplements existing methods like ID scans or credit card checks, and applies in regions including Australia, Brazil, Singapore, South Korea, the UK, and Texas in the US. The company states the selfie is never accessible to anyone, including Apple, and is deleted immediately after age confirmation.
