Apple is restricting dating apps and romanceable chatbots to over 18s
Apple announced new App Store content descriptors that will require developers to declare whether their apps enable dating, relationships, sexual behavior with real people or virtual companions, or include real-world location sharing. Apps featuring dating and relationship functionality will receive a minimum age rating of 18, while location-sharing features may affect age ratings in certain regions. The policy targets both human-to-human dating features and interactions with romanceable chatbots.
