[Digital Today AI Reporter] Apple will introduce a new age-rating system in its App Stores for Australia and Vietnam to tighten controls on minors\u2019 access to apps.<\/p>\n

On the 21st (local time), IT outlet 9to5Mac reported that Apple announced on its developer blog it will revise the App Store age-rating systems in Australia and Vietnam to comply with local regulations beginning June 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

Apple has asked developers to review their age-rating questionnaire responses in App Store Connect to ensure those answers accurately reflect each app\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

The move comes as governments worldwide step up online safety rules for minors. In recent months, several countries and some U.S. states have expanded limits on online services for teenagers, citing concerns about social media, mental health, and harmful elements in games.<\/p>\n

Apple has been updating the App Store\u2019s age-rating framework in response. Last year, the company introduced a more granular rating structure and added an age-verification tool in certain regions that blocks downloads of 18+ apps unless users complete adult verification.<\/p>\n

Under this revision, Apple will adjust how age ratings are displayed in the Australia and Vietnam App Stores to align with local rules. The company said the updated ratings will appear on each app\u2019s product page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
