Age assurance is rolling out globally. Apps continue to work as is, but you may observe changes to custom status visibility, age-restricted Activities, parent-set spending limits, and DM filtering.
We recently announced the launch of age assurance. For most developers, nothing changes: existing apps, bots, games, Activities, and Social SDK integrations continue to work as is.
There are four behaviors you may observe as these protections roll out. These are things your app might encounter at runtime, not changes you need to implement.
- Bots & Apps: Private Profiles limit the visibility of custom statuses from user presence.
- Activities: Age-restricted Activities may require users to confirm their age group.
- Commerce: Parent-set spending limits may prevent some purchases.
- Social SDK: DMs may be filtered to Message Requests more often.
