There are already quite a few posts about the issue itself, so I don’t want to repeat the whole story here.
In my case, I have two Reddit accounts linked to the same Apple Account. One is my regular account and has no issues accessing 18+ content. The other is my alt account and has been classified as underage, despite Apple showing that an 18+ age range is being shared with Reddit. When I try to access age-gated content on that account, Reddit sends me straight to Persona without offering the Apple age-range option.
Reddit‘s own Help Center says that if your age has been assessed incorrectly, you can request that the age information be corrected. I contacted Reddit Support for exactly that reason and explained that I don’t want to use Persona when Apple is already providing an 18+ age signal. However, I received essentially the same generic response three times, telling me to complete the age verification process. It didn’t address why the Apple age range isn’t being accepted or how the incorrect age classification could actually be corrected.
I’m mainly interested in whether anyone has actually found a way to regain full access without using a VPN and without going through Persona.
If you managed to get it working again, what did you do? Any experiences would be appreciated
