The "Declared Age Range" API was introduced to help apps deliver age-appropriate experiences while preserving user privacy. This API allows apps to request an age range from users, which is returned as a set of two numbers, ensuring that the user's exact birth date remains private. Users can choose whether to share their age range, and the API provides options for always sharing, asking first, or never sharing.
The age ranges are designed to be flexible and can be customized based on the app's requirements. For example, an app might request age ranges like 13-15 or 16 and over, and users can declare their age range accordingly. This framework is particularly useful for creating child and teen experiences, as it allows apps to tailor their features based on the user's age while maintaining privacy.
For more details, you can refer to the session "Deliver age-appropriate experiences in your app" from WWDC 2025. If you are interested in the specifics of the declared age range framework, you can start watching from the chapter on the Declared Age Range framework.
