4 hours ago
- Google Play is expanding the Age Signals API globally to help developers provide age-appropriate experiences.
- The API allows parents to share their child's age range directly with apps via Family Link, simplifying safety settings.
- Developers can use the age signals to tailor app content and features, avoiding one-size-fits-all rules.
- The rollout begins in mid-August for Australia and Canada, then globally later in 2026.
- The initiative builds on existing safety features like family app standards and Family Link parental controls.
