Google begins global rollout of age verification API in Google Play
Summary
Google is globally rolling out its Play Age Signals API, enabling developers to request age ranges for child accounts via Family Link. The system is opt-in, relies on parental input, and aims to help meet age-verification requirements across jurisdictions, though enforcement and user circumvention remain possible. The rollout timeline spans from testing in Brazil to global availability by end of 2026, with some regions like Australia and Canada prioritized next.
