TL;DR
  • Google has reportedly started rolling out its new age verification requirements for the Play Store.
  • Failure to prove you are 18 or older could lead to disruptions in app downloads.
  • Users can verify their age for the Play Store using a government-issued ID, taking a selfie, using a credit card, or through a third-party age-estimation provider such as Verifymy.io.

Google has apparently started rolling out its new Play Store age verification system, similar to the process it recently introduced on YouTube.
