Google is expanding its answer to Apple’s age-assurance tools with Wednesday’s news that it will bring its Play Signal API to users worldwide by the end of 2026.
The technology, already available in Brazil, allows Android developers to identify younger users of their apps in order to provide safer, age-appropriate experiences.

It also lets adults share their age when prompted by app developers as well, allowing for customized experiences.
The feature joins other safety tools on Google Play, including those that let developers restrict a child’s ability to discover their apps.
