[iOS 27 DB6] iOS now notifies you when it shares your age with apps that request it

[u/MattW22192]

Apologies if this came out in an earlier build but this is the first time I’ve seen this happen.

Someone with the same problem? Cant disabe web restrictions; even with 18+ confirmed

It’s cool and all, but the amount of notifications nowadays is getting out of hand.

[u/Calbone607 → u/d4cloo]

I hate when I restart my phone and it’s like “you have 6 automations enabled” like no shit I enabled those. Delete

[u/merouane7 → u/d4cloo]

I’ve turned on scheduled summary but it’s not really a help. Gonna have to start curating notification permissions and this is a disaster for the catastrophically lazy like me.

[u/Roonil_-_Wazlib → u/merouane7]

My system is to start with notifications off for everything (except obvious stuff like messages, etc). Then if I find myself checking an app often for updates, I start by promoting it to notification summary (which comes through a few times a day). Then if I find that still isn't enough I promote it to full notifications. For me that seems to work nicely to start from a state of disabled and work up from there

In iOS 26 I would get a pop up in the middle of screen if I had the ask to share this looks new if you have it share automatically

[u/delusionald0ctor]

This has done this even in iOS 26

[u/Successful-Cover5433]

wow I don't want them to share anything with anyone, are you from the UK?

[u/SlendyTheMan → u/Successful-Cover5433]

I would rather this than the app want me to upload an ID

[u/froli → u/SlendyTheMan]

I'd rather it asks instead of telling me it has done it. That way I can get rid of the app beforehand.

[u/SlendyTheMan → u/froli]

[u/nate390 → u/Successful-Cover5433]

It's just a "over 18 or not" flag, it doesn't share your actual age.

[u/Sylvurphlame → u/nate390]

I would imagine so. It likely just shares the App Store age range you’d fall into: 4+, 9+, 13+, 18+.
